Performance Evaluation for Network Services, Systems and Protocols by Stênio Fernandes Pdf

This book provides a comprehensive view of the methods and approaches for performance evaluation of computer networks. It offers a clear and logical introduction to the topic, covering both fundamental concepts and practical aspects. It enables the reader to answer a series of questions regarding performance evaluation in modern computer networking scenarios, such as ‘What, where, and when to measure?’, ‘Which time scale is more appropriate for a particular measurement and analysis?’, 'Experimentation, simulation or emulation? Why?’, and ‘How do I best design a sound performance evaluation plan?’. The book includes concrete examples and applications in the important aspects of experimentation, simulation and emulation, and analytical modeling, with strong support from the scientific literature. It enables the identification of common shortcomings and highlights where students, researchers, and engineers should focus to conduct sound performance evaluation. This book is a useful guide to advanced undergraduates and graduate students, network engineers, and researchers who plan and design proper performance evaluation of computer networks and services. Previous knowledge of computer networks concepts, mechanisms, and protocols is assumed. Although the book provides a quick review on applied statistics in computer networking, familiarity with basic statistics is an asset. It is suitable for advanced courses on computer networking as well as for more specific courses as a secondary textbook.

Communication Networks and Computer Systems by Javier A Barria Pdf

Communication networks and computer systems research is entering a new phase in which many of the established models and techniques of the last twenty years are being challenged. The research community is continuing to free itself from past intellectual constraints so that it may fully exploit the convergence of computing and communications. Evaluating the performance of emerging communications and computer systems constitutes a huge challenge. Thus, current research provides a set of heterogeneous tools and techniques embracing the uncertainties of time and space varying environments when the requests for diverse services are made in real time, and with very different quality of service expectations. These novel techniques will lead to fast and economic service deployment and effective dynamic resource management, and hence to new business strategies and infrastructures that will facilitate the emergence of future services and applications. This volume contains contributions and presentations made by leading international researchers at a workshop which was held in April 2004 to honour Professor Erol Gelenbe on the occasion of his inaugural lecture as the Dennis Gabor Chair at Imperial College London. Contents:Erol Gelenbe's Contributions to Computer and Networks Performance (A Bensoussan)Rethinking Incentives for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (E Huang et al.)Fair and Efficient Allocation of Resources in the Internet (R M Salles & J A Barria)The Locality Principle (P J Denning)A Simulation-Based Performance Analysis of Epoch Task Scheduling in Distributed Processors (H Karatza)Counter Intuitive Aspects of Statistical Independence in Steady State Distributions (J P Buzen)The Non-Stationary Loss Queue: A Survey (K A Alnowibet & H Perros)Stabilization Techniques for Load-Dependent Queueing Networks Algorithms (G Casale & G Serazzi)Modelling and Simulation of Interdependent Critical Infrastructure: The Road Ahead (E Casalicchio et al.)Stochastic Automata Networks and Lumpable Stochastic Bounds: Bounding Availability (J M Fourneau et al.)Aggregation Methods for Cross-Layer Simulations (M Becker et al.)Space and Time Capacity in Dense Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (P Jacquet)Stochastic Properties of Peer-to-Peer Communication Architecture in a Military Setting (D P Gaver & P A Jacobs)Quantifying the Quality of Audio and Video Transmissions over the Internet: The PSQA Approach (G Rubino)A Study of the Dynamic Behavior of a Web Site (M C Calzarossa & D Tessera) Readership: Postgraduate and graduate students in computing and electrical & electronic engineering; computer and communication systems engineers.

Computer Networks and Systems by Thomas G. Robertazzi Pdf

Intended for a first course in performance evaluation, this is a self-contained treatment covering all aspects of queuing theory. It starts by introducing readers to the terminology and usefulness of queueing theory and continues by considering Markovian queues in equilibrium, Littles law, reversibility, transient analysis, and computation, plus the M/G/1 queuing system. It then moves on to cover networks of queues, and concludes with techniques for numerical solutions, a discussion of the PANACEA technique, discrete time queueing systems and simulation, and stochastic Petri networks. The whole is backed by case studies of distributed queueing networks arising in industrial applications. This third edition includes a new chapter on self-similar traffic, many new problems, and solutions for many exercises.
