Abstract

This paper describes the mapping of a software model to a simulation model in order to support the performance requirement verification. More specifically, we describe a mapping of a software model, based on UML Deployment, and State Machine diagrams annotated with performance information, to a simulation model that is specified in Activity Cycle Diagrams. The simulation model is translated to a simulation program so that verification of performance requirements can be made. The mapping is part of a framework based on the UML Profile for MARTE (Modeling and Analysis of Real-Time and Embedded Systems) employed for performance requirement verification of real time computers systems. An example is presented to show the feasibility of the mapping.
