	abstract = {<p>Modern buildings are often expected to satisfy minimum safety requirements to define upper bounds for safety metrics, such as evacuation time. The building design must therefore consider prediction of these metrics for a set of representative evacuation scenarios. These scenarios can be rather complex, and often can be investigated only using building evacuation simulators. However, these simulators might require considerable development effort, and their use might therefore become less convenient, for time and cost issues. In this respect, this paper introduces a model-driven method to automatically develop building evacuation simulators from informal specifications of building evacuation scenarios, i.e., building plans and behavioral descriptions of evacuees. Specifically, the paper shows how a floor plan develops in the structural characteristics of an Extended Queueing Network (EQN) model and how the behavioral description can be used to parameterize the EQN model. The paper also presents an example application along with preliminary validation issues. {\textcopyright} 2015 IEEE.</p>},

	abstract = {Distributed and collaborative applications are rapidly converging towards the adoption of a computing paradigm based on service-oriented architectures, according to which an application results from the composition of a set of services in execution on networked server hosts. In this context, a major challenge for collaborative businesses and application service providers is to provide services with high levels of QoS to geographically dislocated consumers. In order to enable better QoS, service providers may employ overlay networks to bring applications closer to their consumers, overcoming slow backbone paths, network congestions and physical latencies. This paper introduces a model-driven QoS management framework that provides both a standard (UML-based) notation to describe QoS-aware collaborative P2P service-based applications and a method for adaptive QoS management based on the automated building of performance models. {\textcopyright} 2006 IEEE.},
