Preface
Goal of the Book In the last decade there has been a growing interest in the research and software industry communities toward techniques, methods and tools that allow one to manage system performance concerns in the software developer domain. Poor performance can often be the cause of software project failure, and the need to address performance concerns during software development is fully acknowledged. One of the main impediments to progress in this field lies in the different cultures in software and performance and in the lack of standard practices and tool support. One promising direction to bridge this gap is the one described in this book. Model-based Software Performance Analysis is the research domain that introduces performance concerns into the scope of software models, thus allowing the developer to carry out performance analysis all along the software lifecycle. The goal of the book is to provide the cross-knowledge that allows developers to face software performance issues since the very early phases of the software development. On one hand, we provide the basic concepts of performance analysis. On the other hand, we introduce the r
