FIRB-Perf 2005 : FIRB-Perf Workshop on Techniques, Methodologies and Tools for Performance Evaluation of Complex Systems (19 September 2005/Torino, Italy)

With the increased pervasiveness of computer systems and of wired and wireless communication infrastructures, many innovative applications and services are being developed and becoming an integral part of our daily lives. Therefore, ensuring the performance, reliability, efficiency, and security of these emerging information systems is fundamental if modern society is to work properly. FIRB-Perf 2005 addresses these issues by focusing on new methods, techniques, and tools for performance evaluation. The papers cover topics that encompass all aspects of performance evaluation, from measurement techniques and workload characterization, to formalisms for modeling qualitative and quantitative aspects of complex systems, to automatic generation of predictive and validation models, to solution methods of analytical, numerical, and simulation systems. The proceedings addresses these from a theoretical viewpoint and discusses their applications.IEEE Computer Society Staff is the author of 'FIRB-Perf 2005 : FIRB-Perf Workshop on Techniques, Methodologies and Tools for Performance Evaluation of Complex Systems (19 September 2005/Torino, Italy)', published 2005 under ISBN 9780769524474 and ISBN 0769524478.
