With modern simulation packages, the modeler can choose almost any standard statistical distribution for generating input random variables. The question arises as to how sensitive...
In this paper we describe the difficulties inherent in making accurate, reproducible measurements of message-passing performance. We describe some of the mistakes often made in att...
Performance measurement of large distributed multiagent systems (MAS) offers challenges that must be addressed explicitly in the agent infrastructure. Performance data is widely d...
