Description
The papers collected in this book form a substantial body of original research in the area of modelling and performance evaluation of computer and communication systems. Problems of theoretical and practical interest are addressed, a variety of solution methods are employed and a number of new results are obtained. Indicative of the continuing high level of activity in this field is the fact that the authors featured here represent industrial organisations and academic institutions in ten countries and four continents.
