Simulation of Computer Systems and Applications

The modeling of computer systems, particularly distributed systems, is presented with an emphasis on the system characteristics that are important to the model and some general methods to represent them. CPU, memory, DASD, network I/O, load generation, and the parameters for applications and their dynamics are discussed. This is followed by a plan for building the model, focusing on a modular approach that the inclusion of more detail as more knowledge is obtained.
