Evaluation of non-functional properties of a design (such as performance, dependability, security, etc.) can be enabled by design annotations specific to the property to be evalua...

Good project scheduling is an essential, but extremely hard task in software management practice. In a software project, the time needed to complete some development activity is d...
Abstract. We present an application of partial evaluation to performance models expressed in the PEPA stochastic process algebra [1]. We partially evaluate the state-space of a PEP...

We present a technique for defining and extracting passage-time densities from high-level stochastic process algebra models. Our high-level formalism is PEPA, a popular Markovian...
