ProFiDo – A Toolkit for Fitting Input Models

  • Conference paper
Measurement, Modelling, and Evaluation of Computing Systems and Dependability and Fault Tolerance (MMB&DFT 2010)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 5987))

Abstract

The Processes Fitting Toolkit Dortmund (ProFiDo) provides a graphical user interface supporting the use of a variety of tools for the fitting and modelling of arrival processes. In this paper we present the first version of ProFiDo emphasising the fitting of Markovian Arrival Processes (MAPs).

This research is supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) within the project “Markovsche Ankunfts- und Bedienprozesse zur Leistungs- und Zuverlässigkeitsanalyse” (Markovian Arrival and Service Processes for Performance and Reliability Analysis).
