Mathematical Adventures in Performance Analysis From Storage Systems, Through Airplane Boarding, to Express Line Queues /

This monograph describes problems in the field of performance analysis, primarily the study of storage systems and the diverse mathematical techniques that are required for solving such problems. Topics covered include best practices for scheduling I/O requests to a disk drive, how this problem is r...
