Linking GENESYS application architecture modelling with platform performance simulation

Modern mobile devices support diverse applications that are enabled by rapid increase of computational power of mobile platforms. A brisk performance evaluation phase is required after the application modelling to evaluate feasibility of new applications on the platform. GENESYS modelling methodology employing service-oriented component based application design has been extended for this purpose such that application level services are refined to platform-level services allowing mapping of GENESYS application architecture to workload models used in performance evaluation. The approach is experimented with a case study. MARTE UML2.0 profile, supporting Papyrus modelling tool and SystemC were used for modelling and simulation.
