Performance prediction methods for component-based software systems aim at supporting design decisions of software architects during early development stages. With the increased a...
How to effectively allocate system resource to meet the Service Level Agreement (SLA) of Web servers is a challenging problem. In this paper, we propose an improved scheme for aut...
Embedded systems are often subject to constraints that require determinism to ensure that task deadlines are met. Such systems are referred to as real-time systems. Schedulability...
For highest performance, a modern microprocessor must be able to determine if an instruction is ready in the same cycle in which it is to be selected for execution. This creates a...
Several different kinds of performance models can be generated from sets of scenarios that describe typical responses of a system, and their use of resources. The Core Scenario Mod...
