Capacity planning for large-scale systems like mainframe installations is typically based on rather coarse historical workload data. Hence, it is advisable to employ techniques and tools that use the same macroscopic (high-level) view of the overall system. We follow the classic approach known...

Results from classic queueing theory are shown to be useful for capacity planning of largescale multi-server systems. In the field of mainframe systems on-line monitoring and dynamic workload management care for the fulfilment of short-term performance goals with respect to service class...

Although the Internet and the World Wide Web (Web) have existed for several years, it has only been in the past year or two that high‐powered software and infrastructure have been available for a company to web enable legacy mainframe systems (i.e. to provide an Internet front‐end). This...

One concern for logistics managers is the use of new technology. Such an example of technology utilization is the use of computers by managers in logistics. Investigates the nature and extent to which mainframe and personal computers are used by logistics management, in contrast to the related...
