Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) have emerged as a preferred solution to tackle the complexity of large-scale, complex, distributed, and heterogeneous systems. Key to success...
A number of network path delay, loss, or bandwidth inference mechanisms have been proposed over the past decade. Concurrently, several network measurement services have been deplo...
Suppose that there are a number of alternative ways of operating a system, and a performance measure is available for comparing them. Simulation runs can be carried out to estimat...
This paper presents a development process with particular focus on non-functional properties. The process is built around the concept of measurements at different levels of abstra...
Even with todays hardware improvements, performance problems are still common in many software systems. An approach to tackle this problem for component-based software architectur...
