The authors make performance issues the central topic, with very in-depth discussion and examples.

Foundations of the functional Petri net theory were developed for the analysis of detailed models of networking protocols. Methods of timed Petri nets reduction on the basis of equivalent transformations of formulas describing their transfer function were constructed; weak types of nets equivalence were investigated. Methods of synthesis of continuous (fuzzy) logic functions given in tabular form were developed. Bases of the theory of clans of systems of the linear algebraic equations were built, allowing the acceleration of the systems solving in rings with a sign, as well as the corresponding algorithms and software. Methods of synthesis of Petri net models on standard specifications of telecommunication protocols with use of intermediate language of cooperating consecutive Hoare processes were developed. Petri net model of the electronic commerce protocol IOTP was synthesized. Verification of protocols ECMA, BGP, TCP, IOTP was fulfilled. The method of compositional calculation of…

Create fast, scalable, and high performance applications with C#, ASP.NET Core 1.0, and MVC 6

• Learn the importance of measuring, profiling, and locating the most impactful problems
• Discover the common areas you might encounter performance problems and areas you don't need to worry about
• Understand the differences between development workstations and production infrastructure and how these can amplify problems
• Design workflows that run asynchronously and are resilient to transient performance issues

This book is for ASP.NET and C# developers who have experience with the MVC framework for web application development and are looking to deploy applications that will perform well in live production environments. These could be virtual machines or hosted by a cloud service provider such as AWS or Azure.

• Why performance matters and when it should be…

If you want to build ASP.NET applications that perform well, you need this book.

This book will show you how to use the features offered by ASP.NET to develop efficient applications that will make the most of the hardware they run on.

The book covers:

How ASP.NET concepts relate to application performance
Designing for performance
Techniques for maximizing the performance of code
Using caching effectively
High performance data access
Performance Testing (including the ACT system that is integrated with Visual Studio .NET and the free WAS tool)
Tuning underperforming applications
Monitoring performance with built in and custom performance counters

The code in this book is presented in Visual Basic .NET

Contains 22 contributions selected from the September 1998 International Workshop on Petri Nets and Performance Models held in Zaragoza, Spain. Contributions, submitted by authors from the US, Canada, Europe, Singapore, and South Africa, are divided into thematic sections addressing solution techniques, telecommunication applications, non-Markovian nets, manufacturing applications, formalisms, MAX/PLUS algebra, and timed nets. Also includes the text of an invited talk by William Sanders on integrated frameworks for multi-level and multi-formalism modeling. Author-indexed only. Annotation c.

The proceedings of the June 1996 workshop contain 24 papers selected according to a special review process. Papers are organized in 8 sessions, covering the topics of solution techniques, simulation, queueing systems, process algebra and applications. Specific topics include petri nets for modeling and evaluating deterministic and stochastic manufacturing systems; modeling of hybrid systems using continuous and hybrid petri nets; analysis of large GSPN models; timed petri net models of multithreaded multiprocessor architectures; discrete-event simulation of fluid stochastic petri nets; and GSPN analysis of ABR in ATM LANs.

This book discusses the theory and applications of the server message block (SMB) 3 protocol used for distributed remote file access. It covers the protocol from its genesis to the present structure and the future enhancements, and includes detailed mathematical models of system performance and real-world applications of SMB-based storage systems. The book examines in detail the protocol and the design principles that have driven its evolution to the present 3.1.1 version, and its applications in the environments such Azure and beyond. Further, the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for understanding the behavior of storage systems with a view to adapting them to modern storage systems such as NVMe(non-volatile memory express) based and software-defined scale out storage systems are explored in detail.
