What is A Wideband Approach to Integrating Performance Prediction Into a Software Design Environment about?

Performance predictions for software designs are needed to give early warnings of problems such as resource saturation or excessive delays. A wideband approach to performance prediction is one which can be applied to a wide range of design descriptions and parameters, ranging from incomplete early descriptions and estimates, to target system measurement data. The paper describes a practical development of such an approach, designed to be integrated with an existing software design environment called ObjecTime. It uses a performance model to make predictions about performance measures such as the average time an actor or processor is busy, the communication overhead of a scenario, or the delays in processing an input event. Automation shrinks the cost and time for model building, and synchronizes the design and model as the design develops. The wideband approach can be applied throughout the software life-cycle, from early sketchy designs until after deployment.
