....without requiring extensive changes to them. The performance model solution process should be transparent to the user of the SPE tool. These SPE requirements led to the initial version of the PMIF (Smith, 1994a) They also led to an SPE meta model that defines the information requirements for SPE (Williams and Smith, 1995). The SPE meta model can be used by developers of CASE tools who wish to collect data and provide for tool inter operability with SPE tools to provide performance data for design analysis. It can also be used to exchange models among software performance modeling tools. Note that the SPE ....
....its benefits outweigh its disadvantages. A related part of this project used the EIA CDIF approach to define an SPE meta model that formally defines the software design information required for conducting an SPE study (EIA, 1994) The reasons for selecting the EIA CDIF approach are described in Williams and Smith, 1995). Because of the close relationship among the design information, the software model, and the system model, we use the same approach to define one type of system model: a queueing network model (QNM) The approach creates a QNM meta model defined in the same notation as the SPE meta model: the ....

The relevant elements of the OMT notation are defined in [RUMB91] and summarized in the appendix of [WILL95]. 2.2 Terminology Issues Performance model terminology varies considerably with modeling tools and textbooks on performance modeling. For example, the types of workloads are either described using the data processing terms of the workloads being modeled (e.g. timesharing, transaction, batch) or ....

....however, is not currently practical. It is too expensive for each CASE vendor to create their own modeling analysis component. Therefore, we seek a nearterm capability to interface CASE tools to existing modeling tools. A previous paper defined the SPE information that CASE tools must collect [Williams and Smith, 1995]. This paper illustrates the translation from Object oriented design models into performance models, and the use of the tool, SPE.ED TM, 1 for early life cycle performance evaluation of object oriented systems. SPE.ED is a performance modeling tool that supports the SPE process described in ....
....such as a class diagram and behavior descriptions for each class. However, our interest here is primarily in the use of scenarios as a bridge between Object Oriented Development and Software Performance Engineering. Thus, these additional models are omitted. 5. 1 Example Scenarios As described in [Williams and Smith, 1995], scenarios represent a common point of departure between object oriented requirements or design models and SPE models. Scenarios may be represented in a variety of ways [Williams, 1994] Here, we use Message Sequence Charts (MSCs) to describe scenarios in object oriented models. The MSC notation ....
