A Hybrid Approach for Performance Evaluation of Web-Legacy Client/Server Systems
Conference paper
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach to evaluate the performance of Web-legacy client/server systems. The approach combines three methods, hardware and software simulations and approximate analysis. Hardware simulation measures basic performance characteristics of the system whose data are utilised in the subsequent methods for designing the system so as to satisfy the prescribed quality of service. From our experience of its application to a prototype system, we observed that both software simulation and approximate analysis provide reasonable evaluation of the system performance.
