Performance modeling of a JavaEE component application using layered queuing networks: revised approach and a case study

Nowadays component technologies are an integral part of any enterprise production environment. Performance and scalability are among the key properties of such systems. Using Layered Queuing Networks (LQN), one can predict the performance of a component based system from its design. This work revises the approach of using LQN templates, and offers a case study by using the revised approach to model a realistic component application.
