The core of MOSEL consists of  constructs to specify the possible states and state transitions of the  system under consideration. This specification is very compact and  easy to understand. With additional constructs, the interesting  performance or reliability measures and graphical representations can  be specified. With some experience, it is possible to write down the  MOSEL description of a system immediately only by knowing the behavior  of the system under study. There are no restrictions, unlike models  using, for example, queueing networks, Petri nets or fault trees.  \u003cbr\u003e  MOSEL fulfills all the requirements for a universal modeling language.  It is high level, system-oriented, and usable. It is open and can be  integrated with many tools. By providing compilers, which translate  descriptions specified in MOSEL into the tool-specific languages, all  previously implemented tools with their different methods and  algorithms (including simulation) can be used. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003ePractical Performance Modeling: Application of the MOSEL  Language\u003c\/em\u003e provides an easy to understand but nevertheless complete  introduction to system modeling using MOSEL and illustrates how easily  MOSEL can be used for modeling real-life examples from the fields of  computer, communication, and manufacturing systems. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003ePractical Performance Modeling: Application of the MOSEL  Language\u003c\/em\u003e will be of interest to professionals and students in the  fields of performance and reliability modeling in computer science,  communication, and manufacturing. It is also well suited as a textbook  for university courses covering performance and reliability modeling  with practical applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-01-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792379515\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-1387-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 409.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578398433420,"sku":"9780792379515","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792379515.jpg?v=1767145861","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792379515","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
