Palladio 5.0 for Eclipse 4.18 (2020-12)

Palladio is a software architecture simulation approach which analyses your software at the model level for performance bottlenecks, scalability issues, reliability threats, and allows for a subsequent optimisation. Palladio requires neither buying expensive execution environments (servers, networks, or storage) nor fully implementing a software product. Construction rules are automatically checked by Palladio and thus allow optimal software architectures without costly trial-and-error-cycles. Like in other engineering disciplines, Palladio enables software engineers to construct software straight and in the right way. Use Palladio to

• Forecast the impact of your design decisions
• Lower the costs for trial-and-error-cycles
• Build highly reliable, scalable, and resource-efficient software architectures

The Palladio Component Model is implemented using the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF). We have implemented an integrated modelling environment (called Palladio-Bench) based on the Eclipse IDE. It enables developers to create PCM model instances with graphical editors and derive performance metrics from the models using analytical techniques and simulation. The best way for getting started with the Palladio-Bench is looking through the screencasts and tutorials provided on the webpage. The project community is managed by project leads of: the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (www.kit.edu), the FZI - Research Center for Information Technology (www.fzi.de), Chemnitz University of Technology (www.tu-chemnitz.de), and University of Stuttgart (www.uni-stuttgart.de).
