Content
Introduction to quantitative methods for construction, dimensioning, and analysis of distributed systems; performance analysis for systems development and maintenance; basic concepts, measurement techniques, and tools for performance analysis; Petri net theory; discrete event based models with GPenSIM; applied statistical techniques (like factor analysis, ANOVA, hypothesis testing) for filtering and analysis of data.
Learning outcome
Understand what performance evaluation and simulation means when many computers are connected in a systemMake models of realistic systems and run simulations on the models. Apply Petri nets for advanced mathematical modeling of discrete event systemsUse Applied Statistical techniques for filtering and analysis of data.
