Over the last decade, the relevance of performance evaluation in the early stages of the software development life-cycle has been steadily rising. We honestly believe that the int...
The validation of functional and real-time requirements of control software for embedded systems is a difficult task. It usually needs the electronic control unit (ECU) and the co...
To provide Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees in open and unpredictable environments, the utilization control problem is defined to keep the processor utilization at the schedula...
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. We...
Predicting stability in object-oriented (OO) software, i.e., the ease with which a software item evolves while preserving its design, is a key feature for software maintenance. In...
