Performance Evaluation of Computer and Communication Systems

This volume contains the complete set of tutorial papers
presented at the   16th IFIP (International Federation for
Information Processing) Working      Group 7.3 International
Symposium on Computer Performance Modelling,            Measurement and
Evaluation, and a number of tutorial papers presented at      the
1993 ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) Special
Interest      Group METRICS Conference on Measurement and
Modeling of Computer                  Systems.
The principal goal of the volume is to present an overview
of   recent results in the field of modeling and performance
evaluation of         computer and communication systems. The wide
diversity of applications and   methodologies included in the
tutorials attests to the breadth and richness of current
research in the area of performance modeling. The                        tutorials
may serve to introduce a reader to an unfamiliar                           research
area, to unify material already known, or simply to
illustrate the diversity of research in the field. The
extensive bibliographies guide   readers to additional sources
for further reading.
