	abstract = {Giving interoperability and reusability capabilities to distributed simulators is fundamental to the widespread use of distributed simulation. The HLA standard has introduced considerable improvements with respect to previous standards, though it suffers from shortcomings such as (1) lack of interoperability among different IEEE-compliant implementations, (2) no support to the adaptation and integration of individual federates and (3) poor reusability, which is limited to entire federates only. In this paper, we present two independent technologies that overcome such shortcomings. The first technology consists of a CORBA-HLA architecture that overcomes limitation (1), the second technology is a new development framework called SimJ that overcomes limitations (2) and (3). The CORBA-HLA architecture decouples federates from the specific HLA implementation so that federates can be effortlessly run on top of any HLA implementation that exposes services through an IEEE-complaint IDL interface. The SimJ framework eases the development of individual federates by providing a uniform and standard interface for local and distributed simulators, and makes it possible the reuse of components smaller than entire federates in both local and distributed simulators.},

	abstract = {Lifecycle validation of software performance (or prediction of the product ability to satisfy the user performance-requirements) is based on the automatic derivation of software performance models from CASE documents or rapid prototypes. This paper deals with the CASE document alternative. After a brief overview of existing automatic derivation methods, it introduces a method that unifies existing techniques that use CASE documents. The method is step-wise clear, can be used from the early phases of the software lifecycle, is distributed-software oriented, and can be easily incorporated into modern (e.g., UML-based) CASE tools. The method enables the software designer with no specific knowledge of performance theory to predict at design time the performance of various final product alternatives. The designer does only need to feed the CASE documents into the performance model generator. The paper carries on an application case study that deals with the development of distributed software, where the method is used to predict the performance of different distributed architectures the designer could select at preliminary design time to obtain the best performing final product. The method can be easily incorporated into modern object-oriented software development environments to encourage software designers to introduce lifecycle performance validation into their development best practices. {\textcopyright} 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.},
