Abstract	Quantitative analysis of software systems is being recognized as an important issue in the software development process. Performance analysis can help to address quantitative system analysis from the early stages of the software development life cycle, e.g, to compare design alternatives or to identify system bottlenecks. Early identification of performance problems is desirable as the cost of design change increases with the later phases in the software development cycle. In this paper we focus on simulation-oriented performance models of software systems. We introduce an approach for translating UML software specifications into simulation models. The proposed technique defines the annotation of an UML system specification by using the UML profile for Schedulability, Performance and Time specification. This allows the designer to easily add quantitative informations to the software specification in a standard and consistent way. Then we derive a process-oriented simulation model whose execution provides performance results that can be directly interpreted at the UML software specification level. Keywords Discrete-event simulation, Software Architectures, Simulation-based performance model, Unified Modeling Language.
