Many of today’s complex systems are multithreaded servers that effectively run forever and need to work under varying loads and environments. Understanding the behavior of such ...
This paper proposes the modeling and the performance analysis of a high-level control protocol – COCOP, which enables cooperative groups of clients to control a shared server de...
Understanding performance and related issues in a complex system requires analyzing where and why the program spends its resources. In a reactive system such as a interactive appl...
