This paper describes a preliminary prototype of end-to-end performance simulator, which forms a part of a 2002/1Q milestone of Server System Institute Project \#34 titled ``{\it Autonomic e-Business Server Management and Analysis}". As understood from the title, we intend to sketch some of essential aspects of the whole model, rather than realistic data analysis. What we focus on is correlation effects between events. With the aid of a simple mathematical solution, we demonstrate that the distribution of response time is considerably affected by the correlation. Explicit source codes are listed in Appendix.
