Natural Language Specification of Performance Trees
The accessible specification of performance queries is a key challenge in performance analysis. To this end, we seek to combine the intuitive aspects of natural language query spec...

Towards State Space Reduction Based on T-Lumpability-Consistent Relations
Markovian behavioral equivalences can be exploited for state space reduction before performance evaluation takes place. It is known that Markovian bisimilarity corresponds to ordin...

Partial Evaluation of PEPA Models for Fluid-Flow Analysis
Abstract. We present an application of partial evaluation to performance models expressed in the PEPA stochastic process algebra [1]. We partially evaluate the state-space of a PEP...

A Ticking Clock: Performance Analysis of a Circadian Rhythm with Stochastic Process Algebra
We apply performance analysis techniques to a biological modelling problem, that of capturing and reproducing the Circadian rhythm. A Circadian rhythm provides cells with a clock b...

Assembly Code Analysis Using Stochastic Process Algebra
Currently compilers contain a large number of optimisations which are based on a set of heuristics that are not guaranteed to be effective to improve the performance metrics. In th...

State-Aware Performance Analysis with eXtended Stochastic Probes
We define a mechanism for specifying performance queries which combine instantaneous observations of model states and finite sequences of observations of model activities. We reali...
