Abstract

In this paper we show how high-level UML models of mobile computing applications can be analysed for classical performance measures such as throughput. The approach proceeds by compiling the UML model into a representation in the formally-defined modelling language of PEPA nets. The compilation process and subsequent performance analysis based on numerical solution of a continuous-time Markov chain is supported by a software tool, the Choreographer design platform. Choreographer interoperates with popular UML tools by reading and writing UML models in the XML Metadata Interchange format (XMI)
