Beyond Performance Metrics

Beyond Language Independent Object-Oriented Metrics: Model Independent Metrics

Software Metrics have become essential in software engineering for several reasons, among which quality assessment and reengineering. In the context of the European Esprit Project FAMOOS, whose main goal was to provide methodologies for the reengineering of large industrial software systems, we have developed the Moose Reengineering Environment, based on the language independent FAMIX metamodel...

Comparing Supply Chain Performance Metrics with Organizational Excellence Performance Metrics

AMR Research has published a list of the Top 25 Supply Chains for the past few years. These companies and the AMR criteria provide excellent examples for exploring supply chain performance metrics. The NIST publications on the Baldrige Award winners and more recent publications on the success of Six Sigma programs are benchmark examples for organizational excellence performance metrics. Perform...

On Correlating Performance Metrics

Performance metrics and their measurements are the basis of identifying and addressing computer performance related issues, from monitoring to capacity planning. IT professionals and performance analysts often face the questions of what metrics to look at, whether those metrics are related, and how to group them in meaningful way for further analysis, e.g., workload characterization. In this pa...

Aggregating Performance Metrics

Java Virtual Machine (JVM) performance is multi-faceted. Not only are there different aspects of Java performance to consider, but workloads behave and affect a JVM differently depending on its characteristics in relation to these aspects. This thesis demonstrates a method to characterize Java workloads from a performance point of view. A system for aggregating measurements from said workloads,...
