A Domain-Specific Language and Toolchain for Performance Evaluation Based on Measurements

This tool paper presents iDSL, a language and a fully automated toolchain for evaluating the performance of service-oriented systems. In this work, we emphasize the use of a high-level domain specific language that is tailored to be understood by system designers and domain experts, a transformation into an underlying process algebra which...

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,...
