Probabilistic modeling is the most cost-effective means of performance evaluation of computer systems. This book is a major revision of Modelling of Computer Communication Systems (CUP, 1987), one of the standard introductions to the area. Changes to the content reflect the change in the subject itself. Professor Mitrani has amplified the treatment of queues, reliability and applied probability. This book will be welcomed by students and teachers for its no-nonsense treatment of the basic results and examples of their application. The text includes the necessary fundamentals in probability...

Analysis and Synthesis of Computer Systems presents a broad overview of methods that are used to evaluate the performance of computer systems and networks, manufacturing systems, and interconnected services systems. Aside from a highly readable style that rigorously addresses all subjects, this second edition includes new chapters on numerical methods for queueing models and on G-networks, the latter being a new area of queuing theory that one of the authors has pioneered.This book will have a broad appeal to students, practitioners and researchers in several different areas, including...

It is widely recognized that the complexity of parallel and distributed systems is such that proper tools must be employed during their design stage in order to achieve the quantitative goals for which they are intended. This volume collects recent research results obtained within the Basic Research Action Qmips, which bears on the quantitative analysis of parallel and distributed architectures. Part 1 is devoted to research on the usage of general formalisms stemming from theoretical computer science in quantitative performance modeling of parallel systems. It contains research papers on...
