A pattern is a common solution to a problem that occurs in many different contexts. Patterns capture expert knowledge about “best practices” in software design in a form that ...
This contribution presents a model for process improvement in the area of performance engineering, which is called performance engineering maturity model. The use of this model al...
We present an analytic technique for modeling load balancing policies on a cluster of servers conditioned on the fact that the service times of arriving tasks are drawn from heavy...
In this paper, we illustrate a model-based approach to Web server performance evaluation, and present an analytic queueing model of Web servers in distributed environments. Perfor...
Interoperability problems arise when complex software systems are constructed by integrating distinct, and often heterogeneous, components. By performing interoperability analysis...
