A Simulation Method For Effectiveness Evaluation of Distributed Systems

This paper presents a simulation method for evaluating the effectiveness of distributed systems based on passing messages. For mathematical modelling of these systems, two paradigms were used, i.e. the paradigm of experimental modelling and the paradigm of probabilistic modelling. The paper proposes effectiveness measures of the considered family of systems. An algorithm of stochastic simulation for effectiveness evaluation of distributed systems was presented.[b]Keywords[/b]: distributed system, stochastic simulation, effectiveness analysis of system
