Use case models capture and describe the functional requirements of a software system. A use case driven development process, where a use case model is the principal basis for con...
—Stochastic activity networks (SANs) are a stochastic generalization of Petri nets. SAN models have been used to evaluate a wide range of systems and are supported by several mod...
Performance model building is essential to predict the ability of an application to satisfy given levels of performance or to support the search for viable alternatives. Using aut...
In software engineering projects, there are two different types of modeling tools. On the one hand, there are tools to model the system under construction, i.e. tools for requirem...
Design space exploration is used to shorten the design time of System-on-Chips (SoCs). The models used in the exploration need to be both accurate and fast to simulate. This paper...
