Modeling and Simulation of Computer Networks and Systems: Methodologies and Applications

by Mohammad S. Obaidat, Faouzi Zarai, Petros Nicopolitidis

Overview

Modeling and Simulation of Computer Networks and Systems: Methodologies and Applications introduces you to a broad array of modeling and simulation issues related to computer networks and systems. It focuses on the theories, tools, applications and uses of modeling and simulation in order to effectively optimize networks. It describes methodologies for modeling and simulation of new generations of wireless and mobiles networks and cloud and grid computing systems.

Drawing upon years of practical experience and using numerous examples and illustrative applications recognized experts in both academia and industry, discuss:

• Important and emerging topics in computer networks and systems including but not limited to; modeling, simulation, analysis and security of wireless and mobiles networks especially as they relate to next generation wireless networks
• Methodologies, strategies and tools, and strategies needed to build computer networks and systems modeling and simulation from the bottom up
• Different network performance metrics including, mobility, congestion, quality of service, security and more...

Modeling and Simulation of Computer Networks and Systems is a must have resource for network architects, engineers and researchers who want to gain insight into optimizing network performance through the use of modeling and simulation.
