Although queueing models have long been used to model the performance of computer systems, they are out of favor with practitioners, because they have a reputation for requiring u...
Characterizing the transient behavior of queueing systems is a difficult problem, which has been addressed by either simplified analytical models or simulation. We seek to capture...
One of the typical features of distributed systems is the heterogeneity of its components (e.g. geographical spreading and different platform architectures), leading to interopera...
