Palladio – Prediction of Performance Properties

  • Chapter
The Common Component Modeling Example

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 5153))

Abstract

Palladio is a component modelling approach with a focus on performance (i.e. response time, throughput, resource utilisation) analysis to enable early design-time evaluation of software architectures. It targets modelling business information systems. The Palladio approach includes

  • a meta-model called “Palladio Component Model” for structural views, component behaviour specifications, resource environment, component allocation and the modelling of system usage and

  • multiple analysis techniques ranging from process algebra analysis to discrete event simulation.

  • Additionally, the Palladio approach is aligned with a development process model tailored for component-based software systems.

Early design-time predictions avoid costly redesigns and reimplementation. Palladio enables software architects to analyse different architectural design alternatives supporting their design decisions with quantitative performance predictions, provided with the Palladio approach.
