A system for engineering and verifying component-based software must include mechanisms for specifying abstractly not only the complete functionality of components but their exact performance as well. This paper introduces profiles as a first-class construct for complete, independent specification of performance in higher-level languages. Using profiles, a developer can select from an assortment of implementations for a particular functionality the one that best suits his needs with respect to speed and memory usage. Equally importantly, he can define the expected performance of larger scale components using compositions of the profiles of their constituent (possibly as yet unimplemented) components. To support scalability, the profile construct facilitates abstraction in performance specifications as well as performance composition and analysis.
