An Integrated Modelling Support Environment

Objetivo

The aim of IMSE is to facilitate the use of systems engineering methods throughout the design cycle by the development of a support environment for performance modelling. The related goals are to improve the integration of currently available modelling tools with one another and with the design process, and to extend their scope to cope with new systems architectures and increasingly complex designs. These goals are supported by the objective of providing the means whereby performance modelling tools and techniques can be used effectively to support systems design and development.
The main objective of the project is to provide a graphically based environment for constructing and executing performance evaluation models at 3 usage levels: system designers, modelling experts and tool designers.
The system consists of a set of tools communicating through an object management system and a graphics support system addressing the areas of system specification, model construction, performance evaluation techniques, and experimentation and report construction.
Development work will be focused on the development of the support environment, tool integration and the extension of tool functionality.

Among the features of the environment to be developed are: advanced graphics work-stations; an extensible tool-set supporting alternative performance-modelling paradigms, queue-networks, process-interaction, and Petri-nets; the integration of tools via a common object management system; graphics support and reporting facilities; and a structured system specification. Integration with system engineering environments is an important consideration.

The toolset will be targeted on the application areas of computer systems architecture, real-time systems, and distributed systems; there will also be evaluation exercises in the areas of network systems, computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM), and information systems.

Research work will be concerned with the automation of the modelling process, the derivation of performance models from system descriptions, and the development of new modelling techniques for existing and new architectures.
