Creación Automática de Modelos DEVS para la Evaluación de Arquitecturas de Software Especificadas en Use Case Maps

Abstract

In this work we propose the creation of a software tool, UCM2DEVS, which aims to generate simulation envronments for software architectures, specified by the notation Use Case Maps (UCM). The simulation model is automatically
generated using the DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) formalism. Starting from scenarios specified in UCM, simulation of architecture allows architects to obtain dynamic metrics on software architecture. Therefore, the simulation
environment supports the designer to analyze the quality of software architectures. The analysis integrates functional, non-functional and quantitative aspects of software architectures.
