Efficiently computing latency distributions by combined performance evaluation techniques

conference paper
Service-oriented systems are designed for interconnecting with other systems. The provided services face timing constraints, the so-called latencies. We present a high-level performance evaluation technique that can be used by a system designer to obtain distributions of these latencies. This technique is capable of capturing nondeterministic, probabilistic and real-time aspects in one go. Under the hood, the technique is equipped with two mechanisms: (i) selection of the right abstraction of the model (to prevent a state space explosion) by evaluating the performance of executing models of different complexities; and (ii) an efficient algorithm in which basic estimates, simulation, and (probabilistic) model checking are combined. We illustrate our approach with an case on image processing of interventional X-ray systems. © Copyright 2016 ICST.
