In one resource, Kobayashi and Mark present the most up-to-date analytical models, simulation techniques, and computational algorithms useful for performance evaluation of complex systems – including computer systems, communication networks, transportation systems, and manufacturing systems. Provides more in-depth coverage of topics such as computational algorithms and approximations; is broader in scope than similar books on the subject. Appeals to readers with a background or interest in a wide range of areas, including systems analysis or telecommunication networks. Offers comprehensive coverage of modeling and analysis techniques from basic to intermediate and advanced levels.Shows how modeling methodologies and analysis techniques can be applied to real-world problems.Features many schematic diagrams, graphical curves, and numerical examples to make abstract or difficult subjects more accessible. A comprehensive reference for practicing engineers, computer scientists, and systems analysts.
