topic that attains a lot of attention in both distributed and mobile systems as
well as Web based services architectures. Due to the recent advances in internet-based
applications as well as distributed and mobile communication systems, we are
witnessing a variety of new technologies. However, these systems are becoming
very large and complex at the same time. Several challenges remain to be
resolved before these systems become a commodity. Guaranteeing QoS and
provisioning of web-based systems as well as distributed and mobile systems and
evaluating their communication performance represent among the challenging
problem in the design of these systems. Quantitative analysis can be very
difficult and may be intractable because of the state space explosion. New
methods and tools have recently emerged for these kinds of complex systems,
such as Stochastic Automata Networks, Stochastic bounds, PEPA, etc.</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"></span></p>
