Abstract. A challenging software engineering problem is the design and implementation of component-based (CB) applications that can meet specified performance requirements. Our PPC...
Assertions have long been used to validate the functionality of software systems. Researchers and practitioners have extended them for validation of non-functional requirements, s...
A primary problem in the performance measurement of high-level parallel programming languages is to map lowlevel events to high-level programming constructs. We discuss several as...
The focus of research on query performance prediction is to predict the effectiveness of a query given a search system and a collection of documents. If the performance of queries...
A performance model for the interaction of agents in mobile agent systems is presented. Two interaction models, namely the remote procedure call and the agent migration are conside...
