Stochastic Analysis of Distributed Systems (StoCADS)

Organization

The course takes place during this winter semester and is organized through OLAT.

Course Overview

The objective of this lecture is to introduce performance modeling of complex distributed systems.

• Server dimensioning of planned systems
• Quality of service guarantees in distributed systems
• Resource management in distributed systems

The focus will be on different analytical methods for performance modeling, namely stochastic network calculus (SNC) with

• Moment generating functions (MGFs)
• Tail bounds
