Abstract

Abstract-It is an important issue for software architects to estimate the performance of software in the early stage of development process due to the needs to verify QoS. Queueing network model is a very useful tool to analyze the performance of a system from abstract model. In this paper, we propose a transformation technique from UML into queueing network model. This approach avoids the need for a prototype implementation since we can determine the overall form of performance equation from the architectural design description. We prove the accuracy of derived queueing network model, which is summarized at 85 percent, through a ubiquitous commerce system which extends mobile commerce system developed by our prior work.
