Abstract :
Summary form only given. The purpose of this study is to review some of the more recent developments in perturbation analysis (PA) from a unified viewpoint. Concepts such as aggregation, statistical equivalence, smoothing, uniformization, and representation of stochastic processes take on more concrete meanings when viewed in the unified PA mind-set. The richness of the subject matter will become apparent and may thus attract more researchers to this fertile area. It is the authors´ thesis that these concepts, combined with the basic approach of perturbation analysis, enable them to develop a general approach to the problem of performance evaluation of discrete event dynamic systems
