title: Scaling performance analysis using fluid-flow approximation
creator: Tribastone, Mirco

subject: QA75 Electronic computers. Computer science
description: The fluid interpretation of the process calculus PEPA provides a very useful tool for the performance evaluation of large-scale systems because the tractability of the numerical solution does not depend upon the population levels of the system under study. This paper offers a tutorial on how to use this technique by analysing a case study of a service-oriented application to support an e-University infrastructure.
