Information Systems Configuration Analysis using Event-driven Computer Simulation

Tomasz Walkowiak, Katarzyna Michalska

2009

Abstract

The paper presents a method of analyzing dependability aspects of service oriented information systems. The system analysis is based on functional-dependability model suitable for system simulation. The model is described by XML Domain Modelling Language (XDML). The model is automatically transform into an input model for computer simulation. For event-driven simulation modified SSFNet simulator is used. Based on simulation results some dependability metrics are calculated: availability and response time of a business service. The paper presents service oriented information system model, method of its analysis with support of created tool that was tested on a exemplary system.
