Performance evaluation of a software architecture: a case study

Abstract

In this paper we investigate on the performance of a Teleservices and Remote Medical Care System (TRMCS). We use a method which automatically derives a performance evaluation model, based on a Queueing Network Model, from a Software Architecture specification formally described in CHAM (CHemical Abstract Machine). The goal of this analysis is to provide a set of measures to analyse the system performance. From these measures we can derive guidelines for the development process in order to maintain a given performance.
