In such a context, service providers are strategically interested both to describe the performance characteristics of offered services, to better qualify their offer and gain a significant advantage in the global marketplace; and to predict the level of performance that can be offered to service consumers. To this purpose, the paper introduces a framework for the management of performance parameters, defining the architecture that enables service providers to measure and make available performance information about the offered services. On the other hand the proposed approach allows the service consumers to automatically retrieve the performance data and then use such data to apply model-driven approaches for the performance analysis of composite web services.}, keywords = {Composite web services, Computing paradigms, Distributed applications, Global marketplaces, Information services, Internetworked, LQN, Model-driven approaches, Parameters, Performance, Performance analysis, Performance characteristics, Performance datum, Performance models, Performance parameters, Service oriented architecture (SOA), Service providers, Service-oriented architectures, SOA, Soa-based systems, Software engineering, Spontaneous emission, Web services}, isbn = {9780889867154}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-62849121929\&partnerID=40\&md5=86f31e7a2aba49f609769114bee66712}, author = {Bocciarelli, P. and Andrea D{\textquoteright}Ambrogio} } @conference {Ambrogio200820, title = {A Model-Driven approach for the performance management of grid-based applications}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the IASTED International Conference on Software Engineering, SE 2008}, year = {2008}, note = {cited By 0}, pages = {20-25}, abstract = {Grid environments and software applications based on Grid Services are currently receiving a strong consideration. In a Grid context, service providers are strategically interested to manage the level of performance that can be oered to service consumers. This paper introduces a model-driven approach for predicting, at design time, and managing, at execution time, the performance characteristics of applications based on Grid Services. The approach is based on the automatic generation and evaluation of performance models from design models of UML type. An example application is illustrated to show the eectiveness of the proposed approach.}, keywords = {Applications, Automatic generations, Design models, Design time, Execution time, Grid, Grid computing, Grid contexts, Grid environments, Grid services, Grid-based applications, LQN, Model-driven approaches, Performance analysis, Performance characteristics, Performance managements, Performance models, Service providers, Service-oriented, Software applications, Software engineering, Spontaneous emission, Systems analysis}, isbn = {9780889867154}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-62849087032\&partnerID=40\&md5=497dc66a800e3d14123b851fc9cec6d7}, author = {Andrea D{\textquoteright}Ambrogio and Conticelli, L.} }
