Exercises

The exercises are part of the module "Performance Evaluation of Distributed Systems" at the University of Würzburg. The lecture was originally developed by Phuoc Tran-Gia and is given by Tobias Hoßfeld since 2018. The book is intended for students and scientists in computer science and technical computer science, applied mathematics, operations research, electrical engineering and economics.
