Performance evaluation of network system through UML

Published: 02 October 2009 Publication History

Abstract

In distributing computing environments, information processing is distributed among many computer systems rather than confined to a single computer. They are widely used for enhancing the performance of complex and bulky numerical calculations. Distributed computer systems heavily depend on efficacy of computer networks. The performance of computer network is a major factor in implementing software on any distributed system as these software need critical response time. Load balancing is an important method for improving system performance. In present paper, authors have estimated the performance of a local area network system, which is evaluated through a well known modeling language, the Unified Modeling Language. A UML model has been designed for real case study of Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow, India. Network performance in terms of load balancing and sharing, is evaluated after designing UML class and sequence diagrams.
