Talk about a ridiculous plug of ones own work:

>              The Art of Computer Systems Performance Analysis:
>  Techniques for Experimental Design, Measurement, Simulation, and Modeling
>                                 By Raj Jain

And it just gets better.  It isn't often a technical book ad lists book
reviews as part of its qualifications, or gives a movie-review format
under the guise of "EXPERT'S OPINIONS..."

It reads like serious checkout counter tabloid stuff, what with the reviews
and "'DON'T MISS' TOPICS".  Kind of like the Dianetics ads on TV.

>o  Eleven mistakes to avoid in empirical modeling [p 266-269]
>o  Six common mistakes in experimental design [p 278-279]
>o  Eight mistakes that may lead to incorrect simulation results [p 394-395]

Maybe L. Ron Hubbard really didn't die.
Maybe he works at DEC and writes books on systems performance analysis.

Hey!  This is MY opinion.  Opinions have little to do with corporate policy.
