Abstract:
The methodology of estimation of reliability characteristics of computer networks proposed
earlier is supplemented with a new technique for estimating the software performance metrics. The
proposed technique is based on the Monte-Carlo simulation method. To apply simulation in the task of
analyzing software metrics, the following problems are solved:
($i$) a model of the software component is
defined — a program that implements a three-tier architecture and executes user queries or commands;
($ii$) a model of user's activity is defined — a nonlinear discrete-time stochastic system based on the
autoregressive model with switching using classification of process states;
($iii$) a simulation program is
described that implements the model of user requests, generates the user requests flow, and collects
statistics; and ($i\nu$) numerical examples illustrating the method's applicability are provided. The concluding
remarks contain recommendations concerning further usage of the presented method.
