Abstract

Complex information flows in the domain of industrial software systems complicate the creation of performance models to validate the challenging performance requirements. Performance models using annotated UML diagrams or mathematical notations are difficult to discuss with stakeholders from the industrial automation domain, who often have a limited software engineering background. We introduce a novel model transformation from Use Case Maps (UCM) to the Palladio Component Model (PCM), which enables performance modeling based on an intuitive notation for complex information flows. The resulting models can be solved using existing simulators or analytical solvers. We validated the correctness of the transformation with three case study models, and performed a user study. The results showed a performance prediction deviation of less than 10 percent compared to a reference model in most cases.
