Course Objectives

In the course various aspects of computer-aided modelling for performance evaluation of (stochastic) dynamic systems will be introduced. The emphasis is on stochastic modelling of computer systems and communication networks; however other dynamic systems such as Collective Adaptive Systems and Cyber Physical Systems will also be considered. Different tools and techniques will be introduced to predict (or monitoring) system performance at the different stages of development.
