Abstract

Internet applications such as Internet stores, reservation systems, on-line banking and a number of other solutions, mainly from the domain of e-business are becoming in recent years more and more important elements of our everyday life. Many Internet applications employ a multitier architecture, which consists of three tiers: a frontend Web tier, a middle-tier that implements core application functionality and a backend database tier. In association with it, also architecture of cluster of servers becomes multitier. Many examples of modeling individual tiers are known in literature. In this article, we describe a model of 3-tier Internet application based on queuing networks consistent with the BCMP model. The analytic model and connected with it calculations of steady-state and performance parameters are described, in the further section we describe the simulation model built in the Matlab Simulink environment.
