The system under scrutiny is modelled with the UML and two profiles: UML4SOA for specifying the functional behaviour, and MARTE for the non-functional performance-related characterisation. By means of a case study, we show how such a model can be interpreted as a layered queueing network. This target technique has the advantage to employ as constituent blocks entities, such as threads and processors, which arise very frequently in real deployment scenarios. Furthermore, the analytical methods for the solution of the performance model scale very well with increasing problem sizes, making it possible to efficiently evaluate the behaviour of large-scale systems. date: 2010 series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science number: 6416 publisher: Springer pagerange: 51-65 id_number: 10.1007/978-3-642-16561-0_12 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-3-642-16561-0 book_title: Leveraging Applications of Formal Methods, Verification, and Validation official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-16561-0_12 citation: Tribastone, Mirco and Mayer, Philip and Wirsing, Martin Performance prediction of service-oriented systems with layered queueing networks.
