....this is too far removed from current computing practice, we have to contend with the problem that users will abuse the system by quoting fake values for the parameters. 6 In contrast, estimating the t parameters of the machine (called performance evaluation) is a more tractable problem [Kri95, Ree94] 48 The approach we adopt is to accept the lack of information, and study the optimal schedule achievable within the limits imposed by the scheduler s nonclairvoyance 7 . The notion of non clairvoyance is an important one, so let us take some time understanding it. Recall the general ....

....system has been proposed. In order to avoid the complexity of on line monitoring a lot of tools are based on traces. This refers to debugging tools [10] as well as to performance analysis [13] A main reason for the popularity of traces is the existence of several standard formats, like SDDF [23] or PICL [9] Already in 1991 B. Bruegge was proposing a heterogeneous on line monitor, called BEE (basis for distributed event environments) 2] albeit its capabilities are restricted to observe events. This constraint is also true for Xab [1] which is a tool to display events. It is focused on ....

....and of keeping a clear and structured design. The specification of HQPNs is encouraged in QPN Tool by a convenient graphical user interface. Even novice users get quickly acquainted with HQPNs. A simple and convenient specification technique is very important for increasing user acceptance [22]. Largeness of state spaces: Quantitative analysis, especially numerical analysis of finite Markov chains, notoriously suffers from the so called state space explosion problem. Modern tensor based iteration techniques extend the set of solvable state spaces by about one order of magnitude. This ....

....monitoring system has been proposed. In order to avoid the complexity of on line monitoring many tools are based on traces. This refers to debugging tools [5] as well as to performance analysis [6] A main reason for the popularity of traces is the existence of several standard formats, like SDDF [12] or PICL [4] In addition, the development of tools and monitor systems is almost never done by independent research groups. As a result, tools run only in environments which are especially adapted to their needs and no other tool can run with this environment. The goal of the OMIS (on line ....

It will also provide tool developers with on line capabilities instead of only trace data to be processed. The project ....
