Java Modelling Tools (JMT) is a suite of open source applications for performance evaluation and workload characterization computer communication systems based on queueing networks. JMT includes tools (JWAT), solution networks with analytical algorithms (JMVA), simulation general-purpose models (JSIM), bottleneck identification (JABA), teaching support Markov chain underlying (JMCH). This tutorial summarizes the main features that compose suite. Furthermore, using composite case study, we provide intuition versatility in dealing different aspects quality-of-service (QoS) evaluation, what-if analysis, software tuning.
