FAWSIM: a flexible artificial workload simulator for Unix systems

Article Abstract:

This paper describes a flexible artificial workload simulator in use both as a pedagogic aid in a teaching environment and as a tool in a software prototype test facility. The background motivations behind the development of the tool are presented first. This is followed by a delineation of the goals derived from the motivations and examination of related work. Next the design choices are presented and justified. This is followed by a brief description of the tool. The presentation continues with a description of the choices made during the implementation phase. Particular attention is paid to how the sequencing of workload components was achieved. The discussion of implementation is concluded with some necessary low level details. The validation procedures are described. Finally the operation of the tool is explained and conclusions are given.

Economic and financial simulation for small business: a discussion of the small business economic, risk, and tax simulator

Article Abstract:

A simulation model designed to perform economic, risk, and tax analysis for small businesses organized as sole proprietorships is presented. The SERTS model can be run deterministically or stochastically and has the ability to monitor numerous performance variables over the entire planning horizon. The model can be used by managers to rank alternative management strategies for risk efficiency. Risk efficiency is identified with generalized stochastic dominance. Alternatively it can perform impact analysis on government programs and macroeconomic conditions for use by the public policy process. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)
