Critically acclaimed text for computer performance analysis--now in
its second edition
The Second Edition of this now-classic text provides a current
and thorough treatment of queueing systems, queueing networks,
continuous and discrete-time Markov chains, and simulation.
Thoroughly updated with new content, as well as new problems and
worked examples, the text offers readers both the theory and
practical guidance needed to conduct performance and reliability
evaluations of computer, communication, and manufacturing
systems.
Starting with basic probability theory, the text sets the
foundation for the more complicated topics of queueing networks and
Markov chains, using applications and examples to illustrate key
points. Designed to engage the reader and build practical
performance analysis skills, the text features a wealth of problems
that mirror actual industry challenges.
New features of the Second Edition include:
* Chapter examining simulation methods and applications
* Performance analysis applications for wireless, Internet, J2EE,
and Kanban systems
* Latest material on non-Markovian and fluid stochastic Petri nets,
as well as solution techniques for Markov regenerative
processes
* Updated discussions of new and popular performance analysis
tools, including ns-2 and OPNET
* New and current real-world examples, including DiffServ routers
in the Internet and cellular mobile networks
With the rapidly growing complexity of computer and communication
systems, the need for this text, which expertly mixes theory and
practice, is tremendous. Graduate and advanced undergraduate
students in computer science will find the extensive use of
examples and problems to be vital in mastering both the basics and
the fine points of the field, while industry professionals will
find the text essential for developing systems that comply with
industry standards and regulations.
Additionally, a solution manual and an FTP site with links to
author-provided data for the book are available for deeper
study.
