Modelling Event-Based Interactions in Component-Based Architectures for Quantitative System Evaluation (The Karlsruhe Series on Software Design and Quality)

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 refinement transformation, the approach integrates platform-specific performance influences of the underlying middleware while enabling the use of different existing analytical and simulation-based prediction techniques.
