The course provides to student the basic knowledge on performance evaluation via computer simulations, and the skills of using some fundamental methodologies in data processing. Two complementary approaches are discussed. On the one side, the course introduces analytical modeling based on queuing theory and stochastic processes, suitable to study complex systems such as computer networks or transport systems. On the other side, students will be introduced to simulation techniques, which can be applied to study more complex system. Applications of these tools to case studies of practical interest are presented and developed in the activities in the lab.
The course provides to the students the basic knowledge on performance evaluation of dynamic systems via computer simulations, and the skills of using some fundamental methodologies for the assessment, design and understanding of data processing systems.
Two complementary approaches are discussed to study complex discrete systems such as computer networks and data processing systems. On the one side, the course introduces analytical modeling based on queuing theory and stochastic processes. On the other side, students will be introduced to simulation techniques, which can be applied to study the dynamic evolution of a system as a function of time. Applications of these tools to case studies of practical interest are presented and developed in the activities in the lab.
