Performance analysis of distributed software systems: A model-driven approach

The design of complex software systems is a challenging task because it involves a wide range of quality attributes such as security, performance, reliability, to name a few. Dealing with each of these attributes requires specific set of skills, which quite often, involves making various trade-offs. This paper proposes a novel Model-Driven Software Performance Engineering (MDSPE) process that can be used for performance analysis requirements of distributed software systems. An example assessment is given to illustrate how our MDSPE process can comply with well-known performance models to assess the performance measures.
