abstract = {Virtualization increases the complexity and dynamics of modern software architectures making it a major challenge to manage the end-to-end performance of applications. Architecture-level performance models can help here as they provide the modeling power and analysis fexibility to predict the performance behavior of applications under varying workloads and configurations. However, the construction of such models is a complex and time-consuming task. In this position paper, we discuss how the existing concept of virtual appliances can be extended to automate the extraction of architecture-level performance models during system operation.},

abstract = {Due to significant industrial demands toward software systems with increasing complexity and challenging quality requirements, software architecture design has become an important development activity and the research domain is rapidly evolving. In the last decades, software architecture optimization methods, which aim to automate the search for an optimal architecture design with respect to a (set of) quality attribute(s), have proliferated. However, the reported results are fragmented over different research communities, multiple system domains, and multiple quality attributes. To integrate the existing research results, we have performed a systematic literature review and analyzed the results of 188 research papers from the different research communities. Based on this survey, a taxonomy has been created which is used to classify the existing research. Furthermore, the systematic analysis of the research literature provided in this review aims to help the research community in consolidating the existing research efforts and deriving a research agenda for future developments.},

abstract = {The accuracy of performance-prediction models is crucial for widespread adoption of performance prediction in industry. One of the essential accuracy-influencing aspects of software systems is the dependence of system behaviour on a configuration, context or history related state of the system, typically reflected with a (persistent) system attribute. Even in the domain of component-based software engineering, the presence of state-reflecting attributes (the so-called internal states) is a natural ingredient of the systems, implying the existence of stateful services, stateful components and stateful systems as such. Currently, there is no consensus on the definition or method to include state-related information in component-based prediction models. Besides the task to identify and localise different types of stateful information across component-based software architecture, the issue is to balance the expressiveness and complexity of prediction models via an effective abstraction of state modelling. In this paper, we identify and classify stateful information in component-based software systems, study the performance impact of the individual state categories, and discuss the costs of their modelling in terms of the increased model size. The observations are formulated into a set of heuristics-guiding software engineers in state modelling. Finally, practical effect of state modelling on software performance is evaluated on a real-world case study, the SPECjms2007 Benchmark. The observed deviation of measurements and predictions was significantly decreased by more precise models of stateful dependencies.}

abstract = {To predict the performance of an application, it is crucial to consider the performance of the underlying infrastructure. Thus, to yield accurate prediction results, performance-relevant properties and behaviour of the infrastructure have to be integrated into performance models. However, capturing these properties is a cumbersome and error-prone task, as it requires carefully engineered measurements and experiments. Existing approaches for creating infrastructure performance models require manual coding of these experiments, or ignore the detailed properties in the models. The contribution of this paper is the Ginpex approach, which introduces goal-oriented and model-based specification and generation of executable performance experiments for automatically detecting and quantifying performance-relevant infrastructure properties. Ginpex provides a metamodel for experiment specification and comes with predefined experiment templates that provide automated experiment execution on the target platform and also automate the evaluation of the experiment results. We evaluate Ginpex using three case studies, where experiments are executed to quantify various infrastructure properties.},

abstract = {{As modern enterprise software systems become increasingly dynamic, workload forecasting techniques are gaining in importance as a foundation for online capacity planning and resource management. Time series analysis covers a broad spectrum of methods to calculate workload forecasts based on history monitoring data. Related work in the field of workload forecasting mostly concentrates on evaluating specific methods and their individual optimisation potential or on predicting Quality-of-Service (QoS) metrics directly. As a basis, we present a survey on established forecasting methods of the time series analysis concerning their benefits and drawbacks and group them according to their computational overheads. In this paper, we propose a novel self-adaptive approach that selects suitable forecasting methods for a given context based on a decision tree and direct feedback cycles together with a corresponding implementation. The user needs to provide only his general forecasting objectives. In several experiments and case studies based on real world workload traces, we show that our implementation of the approach provides continuous and reliable forecast results at run-time. The results of this extensive evaluation show that the relative error of the individual forecast points is significantly reduced compared to statically applied forecasting methods, e.g. in an exemplary scenario on average by 37%. In a case study, between 55% and 75% of the violations of a given service level agreement can be prevented by applying proactive resource provisioning based on the forecast results of our implementation.}},

@mastersthesis{hinkel2013a,
abstract = {{In recent years, model-driven software development (MDSD) has gained popularity among both industry and academia. MDSD aims to generate traditional software artifacts from models. This generation process is realized in multiple steps. Thus, before being transformed to software artifacts, models are transformed into models of other metamodels. Such model transformation is supported by dedicated model transformation languages. In many cases, these are entirely new languages (external domain-specific languages, DSLs) for a more clear and concise representation of abstractions. On the other hand, the tool support is rather poor and the transformation developers hardly know the transformation language. A possible solution for this problem is to extend the programming language typically used by developers (mostly Java or C\#) with the required abstractions. This can be achieved with an internal DSL. Thus, concepts of the host language can easily be reused while still creating the necessary abstractions to ease development of model transformations. Furthermore, the tool support for the host language can be reused for the DSL. In this master thesis, NMF Transformations is presented, a framework and internal DSL for C\#. It equips developers with the ability to specify model transformations in languages like C\# without having to give up abstractions known from model transformation standards. Transformation developers get the full tool support provided for C\#. The applicability of NMF Transformations as well as the impact of NMF Transformations to quality attributes of model transformations is evaluated in three case studies. Two of them come from the Transformation Tool Contests 2013 (TTC). With these case studies, NMF Transformations is compared with other approaches to model transformation. A further case study comes from ABB Corporate Research to demonstrate the advantages of NMF Transformations in an industrial scenario where aspects like testability gain special importance.}},

abstract = {{Originating from the field of physics and economics, the term elasticity is nowadays heavily used in the context of cloud computing. In this context, elasticity is commonly understood as the ability of a system to automatically provision and de-provision computing resources on demand as workloads change. However, elasticity still lacks a precise definition as well as representative metrics coupled with a benchmarking methodology to enable comparability of systems. Existing definitions of elasticity are largely inconsistent and unspecific leading to confusion in the use of the term and its differentiation from related terms such as scalability and efficiency; the proposed measurement methodologies do not provide means to quantify elasticity without mixing it with efficiency or scalability aspects. In this short paper, we propose a precise definition of elasticity and analyze its core properties and requirements explicitly distinguishing from related terms such as scalability, efficiency, and agility. Furthermore, we present a set of appropriate elasticity metrics and sketch a new elasticity tailored benchmarking methodology addressing the special requirements on workload design and calibration.}},

However, the benefit of applying an analysis in a given scenario is not clear. Only a few studies about change impact analysis ap- proaches compare the actual effort spent implement- ing the change with the prediction of the analysis. To gain more insight about change impact analysis benefits, we have performed a case study on chang- ing a software's input data model. We have applied two analyses, using the Java compiler and a depen- dency graph based approach, before implementing the actual change. In this paper, we present the re- sults, showing that i) syntactically required changes have been predicted adequately, iii) changes required for semantical correctness required the major effort but were not predicted at all, and iii) tool support for change impact analysis still needs to be improved.},

abstract = {Event-based communication is used in different domains including telecommunications, transportation, and business information systems to build scalable distributed systems. Such systems typically have stringent requirements for performance and scalability as they provide business and mission critical services. While the use of event-based communication enables loosely-coupled interactions between components and leads to improved system scalability, it makes it much harder for developers to estimate the system's behavior and performance under load due to the decoupling of components and control flow. We present an overview on our approach enabling the modeling and performance prediction of event-based system at the architecture level. Applying a model-to-model transformation, our approach integrates platform-specific performance influences of the underlying middleware while enabling the use of different existing analytical and simulation-based prediction techniques. The results of two real world case studies demonstrate the effectiveness, practicability and accuracy of the proposed modeling and prediction approach.},

abstract = {Design decisions for complex, component-based systems impact multiple quality of service (QoS) properties. Often, means to improve one quality property deteriorate another one. In this scenario, selecting a good solution with respect to a single quality attribute can lead to unacceptable results with respect to the other quality attributes. A promising way to deal with this problem is to exploit multi-objective optimization where the objectives represent different quality attributes. The aim of these techniques is to devise a set of solutions, each of which assures an optimal trade-off between the conflicting qualities. Our previous work proposed a combined use of analytical optimization techniques and evolutionary algorithms to efficiently identify an optimal set of design alternatives with respect to performance and costs. This paper extends this approach to more QoS properties by providing analytical algorithms for availability-cost optimization and three-dimensional availability-performance-cost optimization. We demonstrate the use of this approach on a case study, showing that the analytical step provides a better-than-random starting population for the evolutionary optimization, which lead to a speed-up of 28\% in the availability-cost case.},

abstract = {{Cloud computing is becoming an increasingly lucrative branch of the existing information and communication technologies (ICT). Enabling a debate about cloud usage scenarios can help with attracting new customers, sharing best-practices, and designing new cloud services. In contrast to previous approaches, which have attempted mainly to formalize the common service delivery models (i.e., Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service, and Software-as-a-Service), in this work, we propose a formalism for describing common cloud usage scenarios referred to as cloud usage patterns. Our formalism takes a structuralist approach allowing decomposition of a cloud usage scenario into elements corresponding to the common cloud service delivery models. Furthermore, our formalism considers several cloud usage patterns that have recently emerged, such as hybrid services and value chains in which mediators are involved, also referred to as value chains with mediators. We propose a simple yet expressive textual and visual language for our formalism, and we show how it can be used in practice for describing a variety of real-world cloud usage scenarios. The scenarios for which we demonstrate our formalism include resource provisioning of global providers of infrastructure and/or platform resources, online social networking services, user-data processing services, online customer and ticketing services, online asset management and banking applications, CRM (Customer Relationship Management) applications, and online social gaming applications.}},

In this work, we analyze state-of-the-art intrusion detection techniques applied in virtualized environments and architectures of VMM-based IDSes. Further, we identify challenges that apply specifically to benchmarking VMM-based IDSes focussing on workloads and metrics. For example, we discuss the challenge of de ning representative baseline benign workload profiles as well as the challenge of de ning malicious workloads containing attacks targeted at the VMM. We also discuss the impact of on-demand resource provisioning features of virtualized environments (e.g., CPU and memory hotplugging, memory ballooning) on IDS benchmarking measures such as capacity and attack detection accuracy. Finally, we outline future research directions in the area of benchmarking VMM-based IDSes and of intrusion detection in virtualized environments in general.}},

abstract = {To face continuously growing security threats and requirements, sound methodologies for constructing secure systems are required. In this context, Model-Driven Security (MDS) has emerged since more than a decade ago as a specialized Model-Driven Engineering approach for supporting the development of secure systems. MDS aims at improving the productivity of the development process and quality of the resulting secure systems, with models as the main artifact. This paper presents how we systematically examined existing published work in MDS and its results. The systematic review process, which is based on a formally designed review protocol, allowed us to identify, classify, and evaluate different MDS approaches. To be more specific, from thousands of relevant papers found, a final set of the most relevant MDS publications has been identified, strictly selected, and reviewed. We present a taxonomy for MDS, which is used to synthesize data in order to classify and evaluate the selected MDS approaches. The results draw a wide picture of existing MDS research showing the current status of the key aspects in MDS as well as the identified most relevant MDS approaches. We discuss the main limitations of the existing MDS approaches and suggest some potential research directions based on these insights.},

abstract = {Event-based communication is used in different domains including telecommunications, transportation, and business information systems to build scalable distributed systems. Such systems typically have stringent requirements for performance and scalability as they provide business and mission critical services. While the use of event-based communication enables loosely-coupled interactions between components and leads to improved system scalability, it makes it much harder for developers to estimate the system's behavior and performance under load due to the decoupling of components and control flow. In this paper, we present our approach enabling the modeling and performance prediction of event-based systems at the architecture level. Applying a model-to-model transformation, our approach integrates platform-specific performance influences of the underlying middleware while enabling the use of different existing analytical and simulation-based prediction techniques. In summary, the contributions of this paper are: (1) the development of a meta-model for event-based communication at the architecture level, (2) a platform aware model-to-model transformation, and (3) a detailed evaluation of the applicability of our approach based on two representative real-world case studies. The results demonstrate the effectiveness, practicability and accuracy of the proposed modeling and prediction approach.}

@mastersthesis{Walter2013-parallel-simulation,
abstract = {For years the CPU clock frequency was the key to improve processor performance. Nowadays, modern processors enable performance improvements by increasing the number of cores. However, existing software needs to be adapted to be able to utilize multiple cores. Such an adaptation poses many challenges in the field of discrete-event software simulation. Decades of intensive research have been spent to find a general solution for parallel discrete event simulation. In this context, QNs and PNs have been extensively studied. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is only one previous work that considers the concurrent simulation of QPN [Juergens1997]. This work focuses on comparing different synchronization algorithms and excludes a majority of lookahead calculation and net decomposition. In this thesis, we build upon and extend this work. For this purpose, we adapted and extended findings from QNs, PNs and parallel simulation in general. We apply our findings to SimQPN, which is a sequential simulation engine for QPN. Among other application areas, SimQPN is currently applied to online performance prediction for which a speedup due to parallelization is desirable. We present a parallel SimQPN implementation that employs application level and event level parallelism. A validation ensures the functional correctness of the new parallel implementations. The parallelization of multiple runs enables almost linear speedup. We parallelized the execution of a single run by the use of a conservative barrier-based synchronization algorithm. The speedup for a single run depends on the capability of the model. Hence, a number of experiments on different net characteristics were conducted showing that for certain models a superlinear speedup is possible.},

However, for the Palladio Bench, no single interface to automate experiments or Application Programming Interface (API) to trigger the simulation of PCM instances and to extract performance prediction results is available. The Descartes Query Language (DQL) is a novel approach of a declarative query language to integrate different performance modeling and prediction techniques behind a unifying interface. Users benefit from the abstraction of specific tools to prepare and trigger performance predictions, less effort to obtain performance metrics of interest, and means to automate performance predictions. In this paper, we describe the realization of a DQL Connector for PCM and demonstrate the applicability of our approach in a case study.},
