Computing response time distributions using iterative probabilistic model checking

System designers need to have insight in the response times of service systems to see if they meet performance requirements. We present a high-level evaluation technique to obtain the distribution of services completion times. It is based on a high-level domain-specific language that hides the underlying technicalities from the system designer....

Efficiently computing latency distributions by combined performance evaluation techniques

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,...
