Software architects plan the realization of software systems by assessing design decisions
on the basis of architectural models. Using these models as input, architectural analyses …

Software architects plan, model, and analyze architectures of large software like Software-as-
a-Service (SaaS) applications. The scalability and elasticity of these applications is crucially …

In cloud computing, software architects develop systems for virtually unlimited resources that
cloud providers account on a pay-per-use basis. Elasticity management systems provision …

Model-driven performance engineering allows software architects to reason on performance
characteristics of a software system in early design phases. In recent years, model-driven …

Biped robot may become unstable during dynamic walking because of the huge
impact/contact forces produced by foot instant landing. In this paper, force/torque-based …

Cloud computing is an emerging computing paradigm that has gained broad interest in
different domains. An important category is Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), an on-demand …

In Softwaresystemen werden bei der (Weiter-) Entwicklung in der Regel bereits fertige (Sub-
) Systeme als ein Teil der Gesamtlösung eingesetzt. Dies benötigt jedoch fundiertes …

Typical requirements of SaaS applications target scalability, elasticity, and cost-efficiency.
However, these quality properties lack an engineering method for software architects …

Software architects use so-called software architecture design assistants to get tool-
based,(semi-) automated support in engineering software systems. Compared to manual …

This chapter describes the family of languages required to analyze the scalability, elasticity,
and cost-efficiency of services deployed in the cloud. First, the ScaleDL Overview Model …
