Abstract:presents pointers to new techniques which are likely to be incorporated into usable tools in the near future. After a brief definition of the term performance the paper considers the techniques available to perform such an analysis and the tools which can be used to support such work. Tools are divided into queueing network tools, Petri net tools, process algebras and formal protocol languages and simulation tools. There is a brief look at alternatives to modelling and integrated environments. Under each of th… Show more
