In this paper, we present an evaluation methodology to validate the performance of a UML
model, representing a software architecture. The proposed approach is based on open and …

Software performance based on performance models can be applied at early phases of the
software development cycle to characterize the quantitative behavior of software systems …

A software model can be analysed for non-functional requirements by extending it with
suitable annotations and transforming it into analysis models for the corresponding non …

Performance predictions early in the software development process can help to detect
problems before resources have been spent on implementation. The Palladio Component …

Abstract Model transformations are an important cornerstone of model‐driven engineering, a
discipline which facilitates the abstraction of relevant information of a system as models. The …

To meet quality-of-service requirements in changing environments, modern software
systems adapt themselves. The structure, and correspondingly the behavior, of these …

The SPE process uses multiple performance assessment tools depending on the state of the
software and the amount of performance data available. This paper describes two XML …

System Quality and Software Architecture collects state-of-the-art knowledge on how to
intertwine software quality requirements with software architecture and how quality attributes …

Software performance engineering deals with the consideration of quantitative analysis of
the behaviour of software systems from the early development phases in the life cycle. This …

Abstract Stochastic Petri nets (SPNs) have been proved useful for the quantitative analysis
of systems. This paper introduces ArgoSPE, a tool for the performance evaluation of …
