Abstract: |
Extended
Queuing Networks (EQN) are popular mod- els for performance simulation of computer systems and
communication networks. The EQN simulator devel- oped in this work provides a simple and efficient sim- ulation environment, which
can be seamlessly integrated by XSLT transformations into modern
system-design en- vironments. Novel in this approach, is the consistent ex- ertion
of XML for all programmed modules of the simu- lator and the specification of the EQNs
itself. The simu- lation
method developed profits from XML Schema and provides a framework for
constructing and solving stan- dard
Queuing Networks (QNM) as well as EQNs. The
application of the XML Path Language (XPath)
warrants a simple, robust and error resistant simulation,
that can be interfaced with numerous programming languages with an XML
interface. The paper presents the simulation method, the underlying XML
model, model validation and the analysis of results. In the contribution, we
also provide implementation details and experimental results for the
prototype simulator. |
