.... them are based in the time consuming simulation technique (e.g. 10] and [11] Simulation models are adequate in the final stages of the development cycle, but simple and less precise models (e.g. analytical models) are sufficient at the beginning because many parameter values are unknown ( 5] [14]) Additionally, the solution of simple models requires less computational effort and time, which is suitable for the first development cycles. Nowadays, performance analysts cannot afford to wait for days of simulation because the product development cycles are shorter. Therefore, one of the ....

....cycles. Nowadays, performance analysts cannot afford to wait for days of simulation because the product development cycles are shorter. Therefore, one of the greatest challenges of future performance tools is to offer alternative methods that require less time and memory to solve the models [14]. The combination of several techniques in a single tool will enable the use of the adequate technique in the corresponding development phase. An idea for reducing the complexity and execution time of large simulation models is to replace some of their components by less time consuming models. ....

.... A Preliminary Framework for SoS Dependability Modelling and Evaluation 14 Delivrable DMS1 models, including combinatorial techniques (e.g. fault trees, reliability block diagrams) and state based techniques (e.g. Markov chains, stochastic Petri nets) Reibman Veeraraghavan 1991, Trivedi et al. 1994] The selection of the right technique to be used mainly depends on whether i) the services are stochastically independent or not and ii) the resources are independent or not. Usually, such dependencies give rise to complex failure and recovery scenarios that need to be captured by the model. ....

....must develop or construct systems that will satisfy ever more demanding customer expectations of performance. These challenges should in turn invigorate the area of systems analysis research by introducing a vast array of real problems that stress existing theoretical techniques. As discussed in [1], examination of the real problems commonly encountered by product designers provides insight into the capabilities an ideal analysis tool should possess. Likewise, observation of the pressures brought to bear on designers as they develop products, as well as of the ways in which designers and ....
