Evaluaci\'on y modelado del rendimiento de los sistemas inform\'aticos

Abstract

This book, by Molero, Juiz, and Rodeno, titled Performance Evaluation and Modeling of Computer Systems, presents a comprehensive summary of simple quantitative techniques that help answer the above questions. Its approach is not one of theory for theory's sake; rather, in each chapter, after a brief theoretical review, it delves deeply into numerous problems grouped into three categories: those with complete solutions, those for which only the solution is given, and, finally, those whose resolution is left to the reader's discretion. Although some of the solved problems may be considered purely academic in terms of complexity, they should not be underestimated, as they reveal, on a reduced scale, the process that must be followed with the help of appropriate tools to solve equivalent real-world problems of an industrial scale.
