Obiettivi formativi specifici

The course is aimed at studying the architectures of complex enterprise digital systems with particular emphasis to the role of their hardware and software components and to the issues related to their sizing, performance evaluation and Quality of Service (QoS). We will introduce the techniques and tools able to analyze and forecast the performance of a systems and we will discuss some case studies. At the end of the course, each student will have enough competences to plan and successfully undertake performance evaluation and capacity planning activities.
