Description
This is the first practical treatment of the design and applicationof feedback control of computing systems. MATLAB files for thesolution of problems and case studies accompany the textthroughout. The book discusses information technology examples,such as maximizing the efficiency of Lotus Notes.
This book results from the authors' research into the use ofcontrol theory to model and control computing systems. This hasimportant implications to the way engineers and researchersapproach different resource management problems. This guide is wellsuited for professionals and researchers in information technologyand computer science.
Reviews / Votes
"..does excel at familiarizing computer scientists andpractitioners with control-theoretic concepts and the idea offeedback...greatly enhanced by the exercises and extendedexamples." (IEEE Control Systems Magazine, April 2007) "The book is intensely practical...interesting anduseful..." (Computing Reviews.com, January 10, 2005)More details
