Computer Performance Engineering

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th European Performance Engineering Workshop, EPEW 2009, held in London, UK during July 9-10, 2009. The 13 full papers and 4 short papers presented in this volume, together with the abstract of one invited paper, were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions. The papers deal with modeling of auctions and markets, hardware modeling of RAID systems, performance aspects of cellular and fixed-line networks, mean value analysis, stochastic ordering to queuing networks, extension of passage-time analysis, stochastic process algebra (PEPA), tagged customers in generalised stochastic Petri nets, and representation and analysis of generally-distributed stochastic systems.

This book constitutes the refereed post-proceedings of the 9th European Performance Engineering Workshop, EPEW 2012, held in Munich, Germany, and the 28th UK Performance Engineering Workshop, UKPEW 2012, held in Edinburgh, UK, in July 2012. The 15 regular papers and one poster presentation paper presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics from classical performance modeling areas such as wireless network protocols and parallel execution of scientific codes to hot topics such as energy-aware computing to unexpected ventures into ranking professional tennis players. In addition to new case studies, the papers also present new techniques for dealing with the modeling challenges brought about by the increasing complexity and scale of systems today.

This book will interest two kinds of people: those who can't go anywhere without having their cellphone in their hand and those who enjoy mocking the people who can't go anywhere without having their cellphone in their hand. If you are in a relationship and your partner has threatened to shove your phone somewhere. If you have felt completely hopeless when your cellphone battery died and you weren't anywhere close to a charger. If you look at your cellphone before even sitting up in bed. This book is for you. If you have been out for dinner with someone and they spent more time looking at their phone than looking across the table at you. If you are on the bus and know exactly what the valley girl and her friends plan to do with the entire football team when they get drunk this weekend. If you laugh at people wearing a headset and they are still holding the phone like a CB radio microphone to their mouth. This book is definitely for you.

Formal Techniques for Computer Systems and Business Processes

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of two colocated international workshops EPEW 2005 (European Performance Engineering Workshop) and WS-FM 2005 (Web Services and Formal Methods) held in Versailles, France in September 2005. The 20 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 59 submissions. For EPEW 2005 only 10 papers - of the 32 submitted - were accepted for presentation; they deal with queueing theory, bounding techniques, stochastic model checking, communication schemes analysis for high-speed LAN, QOS analysis in wireless ad-hoc networks and optical networks analysis. The main topics of the 10 papers accepted for WS-FM 2005 - from 27 submissions -...

Resilience Assessment and Evaluation of Computing Systems

The resilience of computing systems includes their dependability as well as their fault tolerance and security. It defines the ability of a computing system to perform properly in the presence of various kinds of disturbances and to recover from any service degradation. These properties are immensely important in a world where many aspects of our daily life depend on the correct, reliable and secure operation of often large-scale distributed computing systems. Wolter and her co-editors grouped the 20 chapters from leading researchers into seven parts: an introduction and motivating examples, modeling techniques, model-driven prediction, measurement and metrics, testing techniques, case studi...

Advances in Wireless Networks

Recent years have witnessed tremendous growth in the population of mobile users demanding high performance, reliability and quality-of-service (QoS). Wireless networks are undergoing rapid developments and dramatic changes in the underlying technologies, in order to cope with the difficulties posed by the scarce wireless resource as well as keep up with the increasing day-to-day demand for cost-effective service of multimedia applications. Predicting and optimising the performance and QoS of wireless networks using analytical modelling, simulation experiments, monitoring and testbed-based measurements are crucial to the proper design, tuning, resource management and capacity planning of such networks. This book is dedicated to review important developments and results, explore recent state-of-the-art research and discuss new strategies for performance modelling, analysis and enhancement of wireless networks. The objective is to make analytical modelling, simulation and measurement tools, and innovative performance evaluation methodology possible and understandable to a wider audience.
