Performance Evaluation of Parallel, Distributed & Emergent Systems - Volume I: Distributed, Cluster & Grid Computing (Hardcover)

In this book, the authors review important developments and discuss new strategies for the performance evaluation of parallel, distributed and emergent systems. The purpose is to make analytical, simulation and testbed-based modelling and evaluation tools and methodology possible and understandable to a wider audience and to report the state-of-the-art innovative tools and techniques for system performance evaluation. Consequently, this book can serve as a valuable source of reference and indispensable reading for researchers, educators, engineers, graduate students, and practitioners in the field of design and analysis of such systems.
