Description

Book Synopsis
This work covers the evaluation of the performance of computer communication systems. It covers developments in computer performability, bringing together two subjects that have been treated separately in different communities, namely computer and communication system performance evaluation.

Trade Review
"...examines various computer techniques for analyzing computing performance in the presence of failures." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 25, No. 3, September 2001)
