Evaluating Quality of Service for Enterprise Distributed Systems
James H. Hill, Douglas C. Schmidt, John M. Slaby · IGI Global eBooks · 2009
This chapter introduces the next generation of system execution modeling tools designed around modeldriven engineering (MDE) coupled with domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs). The authors discuss key design issues involved with implementing a next generation SEM tool and show how they can be applied to developing service-oriented architecture (SOA)-based applications. Finally, the authors use a real-life case study to illustrate how next generation system execution modeling tools can help understand quality-of-service (QoS) issues earlier in the development lifecycle (i.e., during design-time) instead of waiting until complete system integration.
