PCM AddOns

Name	Addon contact	Addon state	Is analysis	Extends analysis	Addon summary	Addon metamodel impact
Accuracy Influence Analysis	Henning Groenda	Stable	falsch	SimuCom	The 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 Templates	Sebastian Lehrig Markus Frank	Incubation	falsch	Palladio Experiment Automation	Architectural 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 New Notation Elements New Views

PBlaman		Experimental	falsch	SimuCom	Performance blame analysis approach (separate tooling, scripts that read in csv results of SimuCom). Maybe also discontinued.
PCM Cost Solver	Anne Koziolek	Stable	wahr		The PCM Cost Solver is a simple cost model that is used in PerOpteryx.	Annotations
PCM Coverage	Henning Groenda	Stable	falsch	SimuCom	This AddOn for Palladio allows managing and presenting coverage information on behavior specifications. It supports the creation of coverage requirements for a given specification and presenting the results of coverage runs.
PCM Data Channels	Dominik Werle	Experimental	falsch	SimuLizar	SimuLizar extension for Palladio Data Channels	Intrusive New Notation Elements
Palladio Experiment Automation	Philipp Merkle Sebastian Lehrig	Incubation	falsch	SimuCom SimuLizar	The Palladio Experiment Automation enables automatic execution of Palladio simulation runs. Allows to specify experiment runs for arbitrary solvers within a model; also supports experiment variations, e.g., for sensitivity analyses.	New Views
Palladio-RT	Javier Fernández Salgado	Incubation	falsch	SimuCom	Palladio-RT enables modelling and analysing embedded software in PCM.	Annotations New Notation Elements New Views
Palladio.TX	Philipp Merkle	Incubation	falsch		Palladio extension for modelling and analysis of transactional information systems.
PerOpteryx	Anne Koziolek	Stable	falsch	PCM2LQN PCM-based Reliability Prediction SimuCom PCM Cost Solver	PerOpteryx is an optimization framwork to improve component-based software architectures based on model-based quality prediction techniques.	Annotations
Power Consumption Analyzer	Christian Stier	Stable	falsch	SimuCom 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
ProtoCom	Steffen Becker	Stable	wahr
SimuCom	Steffen Becker	Stable	wahr
SimuLizar	Matthias Becker	Stable	wahr		SimuLizar 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 Extension	Steffen Becker	Stable	falsch		SimuLizar 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 Wizard	Steffen Becker	Stable	falsch		The SimuLizar Wizards aids users in creating and editing Monitors and Measuring Points.
Test-based Validation	Henning Groenda	Stable	falsch
Transient Effects Analysis	Christian Stier	Stable	falsch	SimuLizar	Enables 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 New Notation Elements New Views
UCM2PCM		Experimental	falsch		The UCM2PCM Transformation enables modeling a software system as UseCaseMap (UCM) and then automatically transform that UCM into a PCM model to do performance engineering.

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.
