fUML-Driven Performance Analysis through the MOSES Model Library

The growing request for high-quality applications for embedded systems demands model-driven approaches that facilitate their design as well as the verification and validation activities. In this paper we present MOSES, a model-driven performance analysis methodology based on Foundational UML (fUML). Implemented as an executable model library, MOSES provides data structures, as Classes, and algorithms, as Activities, which can be imported to instrument fUML models and then to carry out the performance analysis of the modeled system through fUML model simulation. An industrial case study is provided to showMOSES at work, its achievements and its future challenges.
