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
After completing the course, the student shall:
- Understand what performance evaluation and simulation means when many computers are connected in a system
- Make models of realistic systems and run simulations on the models.
- Apply Petri nets for advanced mathematical modeling of discrete event systems.
- Use Applied Statistical techniques for filtering and analysis of data.
