We present a component-based framework and its supporting simulation tool for joint software-hardware modelling and performance analysis of multiprocessor embedded systems. This j...
We describe the application of a performance engineering methodology based on UML diagrams with annotations taken from the Profile for Schedulability, Performance and Time. The me...
As modern multi-tier systems are becoming increasingly large and complex, it becomes more difficult for system analysts to understand the overall behavior of the system, and diag...
