“…A SRN is a modeling technique that is concise in its specification and closer to a designer's intuition about what a model should look like. SRNs have been extensively used for performance, reliability and performability analysis of a variety of systems [15,6,7,18,8,11]. The work closest to the proposed research is reported by Ramani et al [15], where SRNs are used for the performance analysis of the CORBA event service.…”

The growing reliance on services provided by software applications places a high premium on the reliable and efficient operation of these applications. A number of these applications follow the event-driven software architecture style since this style fosters evolvability by separating event handling from event demultiplexing and dispatching functionality. The event demultiplexing capability, which appears repeatedly across a class of event-driven applications, can be codified into a reusable pattern, such as the Reactor pattern. In order to enable performance analysis of event-driven applications at design time, a model is needed that represents the event demultiplexing and handling functionality that lies at the heart of these applications. In this paper, we present a model of the Reactor pattern based on the well-established Stochastic Reward Net (SRN) modeling paradigm. We discuss how the model can be used to obtain several performance measures such as the throughput, loss probability and upper and lower bounds on the response time. We illustrate how the model can be used to obtain the performance metrics of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service provided by a Virtual Router (VR). We validate the estimates of the performance measures obtained from the SRN model using simulation.

Abstract-Society is becoming increasingly reliant on the services provided by distributed, performance sensitive software systems. These systems demand multiple simultaneous quality of service (QoS) properties. A key enabler in recent successes in the development of such systems has been middleware, which comprises reusable building blocks. Typically, a large number of configuration options are available for each building block when composing a system end-to-end. The choice of the building blocks and their configuration options have an impact on the performance of the services provided by the systems. Currently, the effect of these choices can be determined only very late in the lifecycle, which can be detrimental to system development costs and schedules. In order to enable the right design choices, a systematic methodology to analyze the performance of these systems at design time is necessary. Such a methodology may consist of models to analyze the performance of individual building blocks comprising the middleware and the composition of these building blocks. As a first step towards building this methodology, this paper introduces a model of the Reactor pattern, which provides important synchronous demultiplexing and dispatching capabilities to network services and applications. The model is based on the Stochastic Reward Net (SRN) modeling paradigm. We illustrate how the model could be used to obtain the response time of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service provided by a Virtual Router (VR).
