A crucial issue in the design of Component-Based (CB) applications is the ability to early guarantee that the system under development will satisfy its Quality of Service requireme...
Most of current embedded control software (ECSW) development techniques deal only with performance specifications during the early software design phase and delay the modeling and...
Performance characteristics, such as response time, throughput and scalability, are key quality attributes of distributed applications. Current practice, however, rarely applies s...
When software products are assembled from pre-defined components, performance prediction should be based on the components also. This supports rapid model-building, using previous...
In this paper we describe our experience in performance analysis of the software architecture of the NICE case study which is responsible for providing several secure communicatio...

This paper studies the performance of a multi-rate mobile ad hoc network (MANET) using an extended ns-2 simulator. A link adaptation algorithm is developed and tested. The multi-r...
Parallelism can be used for major performance improvement in large Data warehouses (DW) with performance and scalability challenges. A simple low-cost shared-nothing architecture ...
