Quantitative prediction of quality properties (ie extra-functional properties such as
performance, reliability, and cost) of software architectures during design supports a …

Quality attributes, such as performance or reliability, are crucial for the success of a software
system and largely influenced by the software architecture. Their quantitative prediction …

Component-based software engineering (CBSE) poses challenges for predicting and
evaluating software performance but also offers several advantages. Software performance …

We propose to integrate performance analysis in the early phases of the model-driven
development process for Software Product Lines (SPL). We start with a multi-view UML …

During software system evolution, software architects intuitively trade off the different
architecture alternatives for their extra-functional properties, such as performance …

Event-based communication is used in different domains including telecommunications,
transportation, and business information systems to build scalable distributed systems. Such …

Software performance engineering (SPE) enables software architects to ensure high
performance standards for their applications. However, applying SPE in practice is still …

This dissertation thesis presents an approach enabling the modelling and quality-of-service
prediction of event-based systems at the architecture-level. Applying a two-step model …

Ideally, a software development methodology should include both the ability to specify non-
functional requirements and to analyze them starting early in the lifecycle; the goal is to …

The accuracy of performance-prediction models is crucial for widespread adoption of
performance prediction in industry. One of the essential accuracy-influencing aspects of …
