CHAPTER 10 Simulation Techniques
This chapter introduces the reader to statistical simulation approaches for evaluating the reliability and associated attributes of fault-tolerant computer systems.
Simulation is frequently used when analytical approaches are either not feasible or not sufficiently accurate. Simulation, in general, has a deep theoretical foundation in statistics that can take years to master, and to which many books have been devoted. However, learning to write a basic simulation program and to use the fundamental statistical tools for analyzing the output data is much easier. These basic techniques are what we concentrate on in this chapter. Having said that, this chapter is meant primarily for readers with a reasonably strong ...
