An integrated model-based development approach has to capture the relationship between requirements, design, and implementation models. In the requirements engineering phase, the m...
The frequent changes during the development and usage of large software systems often lead to a loss of architectural quality which hampers the implementation of further changes a...
Stochastic Petri nets (SPNs) have been proved useful for the quantitative analysis of systems. This paper introduces ArgoSPE, a tool for the performance evaluation of software syst...
