Model-based performance prediction for event-driven systems
Christoph Rathfelder, Samuel Kounev · 2009
The event-driven communication paradigm provides a number of advantages for building loosely coupled distributed systems. However, the loose coupling of components in such systems makes it hard for developers to estimate their behavior and performance under load. Most existing performance prediction techniques for systems using event-driven communication require specialized knowledge to build the necessary prediction models. In this paper, we propose an extension of the Palladio Component Model (PCM) that provides natural support for modeling event-based communication and supports different performance prediction techniques.
