  • Abstract
    A software toolset which allows Unified Modelling Language (UML) modellers to annotate models with performance information is described. An equivalent performance model is extracted from the UML, solved, and the results reflected back to the UML level. Used in this way, the toolset gives a high-level approach to software performance modelling where the benefits of the performance modelling process are achieved without significant additional notational burden.
