Reihe: Lecture Notes in Computer Science

This volume contains the complete set of tutorial papers
presented at the 16th IFIP (International Federation for
Information Processing) Working Group 7.3 International
Symposium on Computer Performance Modelling, Measurement and
Evaluation, and a number of tutorial papers presented at the
1993 ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) Special
Interest Group METRICS Conference on Measurement and
Modeling of Computer Systems.
The principal goal of the volume is to present an overview
of recent results in the field of modeling and performance
evaluation of computer and communication systems. The wide
diversity of applications and methodologies included in the
tutorials attests to the breadth and richness of current
research in the area of performance modeling. The tutorials
may serve to introduce a reader to an unfamiliar research
area, to unify material already known, or simply to
illustrate the diversity of research in the field. The
extensive bibliographies guide readers to additional sources
for further reading.
