Abstract

The general problem of the representation and performance-oriented modeling of the behavior of distributed computer systems is discussed. A description of an integrated System Design/Static and Dynamic Modeling (SD/SDM) tool set is presented. In SD/SDM, a data base organization is used for the representation of the architecture, load, application software and the operating system of a distributed system. Modeling is performed statically or dynamically through a generic simulation model that does not require recompilation. Applications of SD/SDM in actual projects are discussed briefly.

A Perspective on Distributed Computer Systems

Distributed computer systems have been the subject of a vast amount of research. Many prototype distributed computer systems have been built at university, industrial, commercial, and government research laboratories, and production systems of all sizes ...
Parallelism and Representation Problems in Distributed Systems

A hierarchical view of program representation is used to explain the problems of matching various representations to underlying distributed architectures. If a program is to effectively use a distributed computer system, it is necessary to represent and ...
Improving domain representation with multi-paradigm modeling
SPLC '12: Proceedings of the 16th International Software Product Line Conference - Volume 2

Domain modeling is a key task in Software Product Line (SPL) development. We identified two popular modeling paradigms: Feature-Oriented Domain Modeling (FODM) and Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM). The representation of the domain model is crucial in SPL ...
