To those working in the field of performance, Connie Smith should need no introduction. She is the author of many papers which have sought to make accessible the techniques of performance analysis and prediction to practising software designers. She is probably the first to have used the term "performance engineering" to describe the application of such techniques to software systems. The publication of a book which encapsulates her ideas is therefore of considerable interest.
