Performance is a pervasive quality of software systems; everything affects it, from the software itself to all underlying layers, such as operating system, middleware, hardware, c...
: Performance is critical to the success of today’s software systems. However, many software products fail to meet their performance objectives when they are initially constructe...
Software engineering has traditionally focussed on functional requirements and how to build software that has few bugs and can be easily maintained. Most design approaches include...
We propose an automated compositional approach for component-based performance engineering, called the CB-SPE. It adapts to a CB framework the concepts and steps of the wellknown ...
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 software syst...
