Provides a clear and systematic introduction to the use of stochastic Petri nets in communications systems engineering and the analysis techniques and algorithms used in performance evaluation.
The field of communication systems is full of complex design questions concerning performance and reliability. Since data traffic and errors occur in a random fashion, stochastic models are used for developing and comparing systems. In particular, stochastic Petri nets have become a popular tool for the description and automatic evaluation of such models. The use of non-Markovian models has become important as they allow more flexibility.
This book
* Provides a clear exposition of the use of stochastic Petri nets in communication systems engineering
* Introduces the reader to the analysis techniques and algorithsm used in performance evaluation
* Provides an accompanying example to clarify the use of each definition, concept and algorithm
* Mathematica routines used…

Learn how to develop web applications that deploy cross-platform and are optimized for high performance using ASP.NET Core 2

• Master high-level web app performance improvement techniques using ASP.NET Core 2.0
• Find the right balance between premature optimization and inefficient code
• Design workflows that run asynchronously and are resilient to transient performance issues

This book is aimed for readers who can build a web application and have some experience with ASP.NET or some other web application framework (such as Ruby on Rails or Django). They can be people who are happy learning details independently but who struggle to discover the topics that they should be researching. The reader should be interested in improving the performance of their web app and in learning about ASP.NET Core and modern C#.

• Understand ASP.NET Core 2 and how it differs from its…

As the largest body of health care and treatment services to societies, in each hospital the human resource costs receive the great amount of considered budget and credit to the health and treatment sector of a country. Although determining the optimized number of staff needed for each ward of hospital is highly effective on the service quality, it is among the subject that any clear standards have not been written for it. This research has been done to set staff's shift schedule and determining the needed number of staff to increase the model hospital productivity and minimize its costs with help of intelligence systems. Since the presence of paints in the hospital and discharge them can be considered as a fragmented system, in the first step with Markov 's procedures specifications we can estimate wisely about the system conditions such as the number of needed beds and occupied beds which can be very useful for optimizing capacities usage. To develop the model, an approach is…

Take a deep dive into the many uses of dynamic SQL in Microsoft SQL Server. This edition has been updated to use the newest features in SQL Server 2016 and SQL Server 2017 as well as incorporating the changing landscape of analytics and database administration. Code examples have been updated with new system objects and functions to improve efficiency and maintainability.

Executing dynamic SQL is key to large-scale searching based on user-entered criteria. Dynamic SQL can generate lists of values and even code with minimal impact on performance. Dynamic SQL enables dynamic pivoting of data for business intelligence solutions as well as customizing of database objects. Yet dynamic SQL is feared by many due to concerns over SQL injection or code maintainability. 

Dynamic SQL: Applications, Performance, and Security in Microsoft SQL Server helps you bring the productivity and user-satisfaction of flexible and responsive applications to your…
