Description: This volume examines the application of performance/reliability modelling and measurement techniques to the design of efficient and dependable computer and telecommunications systems. It covers a wide range of techniques including measurements, simulation, and analytical models and their applications to ATM networks, distributed systems, access, and wide area networks. Particular emphasis is given to multimedia networking and applications.

Based on papers presented at UKPEW'95, the leading European workshop on performance engineering, this volume contains contributions from experts in both academia and industry. It will provide invaluable reading for systems designers, engineers, researchers, and postgraduate students with an interest in the design and implementation of computer systems, networks and telecommunications.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
