Accuracy Influence AnalysisHenning GroendaStablefalschSimuComThe Accuracy Influence Analysis was a former AddOn of Palladio but is now integrated into the simulation-based performance prediction. It extends the accuracy statements of Palladio with an influence analysis. The accuracy statements enable to state the accuracy of behavior specifications in .quality files.Annotations
Architectural TemplatesSebastian Lehrig
Markus Frank
IncubationfalschPalladio Experiment AutomationArchitectural Templates allow software architects to apply reusable patterns to their Palladio models. For example, instead of manually modeling the load balancer software architects can also apply the Architectural Template for load balancers. As this application consists only of a few small steps, architects can save a lot of modeling effort.Annotations

Power Consumption AnalyzerChristian StierStablefalschSimuCom
SimuLizar
The Power Consumption Analyzer tooling supports the analysis of power and energy consumption of software systems defined in PCM. Power distribution characteristics are defined using instances of the Power Consumption model. The Power Consumption model references PCM's Resource Environment Model and annotates each resource and ResourceContainer with its consumption characteristics.Annotations

SimuLizarMatthias BeckerStablewahrSimuLizar is a Palladio plug-in for analyzing self-adaptive systems, such as cloud computing systems, at design-time. With SimuLizar, we want to provide modeling support for self-adaptation rules as well as new analysis for scalability, elasticity, and efficiency.
SimuLizar Usability ExtensionSteffen BeckerStablefalschSimuLizar is a Palladio plug-in for analyzing self-adaptive systems. To analyze such systems, SimuLizar introduces new metrics to the PCM: Scalability, elasticity and efficiency. This is achieved by using Monitors, Measuring Points and multiple measurable metrics. With the SimuLizar Usability Extension we want to aid users in the prozess of managing and creating these through a new Measurements-Dashboard view with an integrated wizard.
SimuLizar WizardSteffen BeckerStablefalschThe SimuLizar Wizards aids users in creating and editing Monitors and Measuring Points.
Test-based ValidationHenning GroendaStablefalsch
Transient Effects AnalysisChristian StierStablefalschSimuLizarEnables the consideration of transient effects in the analysis of self-adaptive software systems. Transient effects subsume interdependencies between reconfiguration duration, quality impact of reconfigurations, and system utilization. The use of the extension, e.g., enables the accurate evaluation of reconfigurations that cause resource demand when executed.Annotations

Monitor Repository

A monitor repository contains monitors that define which metrics should be monitored at which measuring point in a performance prediction, e.g., the mean response time of a external call "saveData()" in component "ImageProcessor".

Service Level Objectives

Service Level Objectives can be used to specifiy thresholds for monitored elements (see Monitor Repository). Currently upper and lower thresholds are supported as either hard thresholds or linear fuzzy thresholds with an additional "soft" threshold.

SimuLizar Extension: Power Consumption Analysis

This extension enables the analysis of energy-conscious self-adaptive software systems. It uses the Power Consumption Analyzer to infer predictions on the power consumption and allows for self-adaptations based on power consumption. Additionally, the analysis of self-adaptations that affect the power consumption such as the switching of power states is supported.

Documentation: Pending.
