Abstract
A model of a distributed computer system for transaction processing is described. The system configuration problem is formulated as a problem of deciding transaction allocation, routing, processor allocation, and line allocation to satisfy certain performance requirements and design constraints. A heuristic design procedure for hierarchical computer systems is described. Based upon this design procedure, an experimental interactive configurator for distributed computer system design is implemented in APL. Topics for further investigation are discussed.
