| ABSTRACT Performance is critical to the success of any software system, especially large and real time ones. Performance for such systems should be predicted as early as in the requirements analysis and design phases of the development process and before code implementation. This is essential to save the investments of money and time. Several Software Performance Engineering (SPE) approaches have been proposed to predict and validate the performance of software systems from its architectural designs. Some of them have been applied successfully to static (non-mobile) systems. Performance modeling and analysis of mobile systems is more complex than non-mobile ones. Although mobile systems are gaining more and more widespread and importance, the means for their specification are still underdeveloped. The obstacle that faces extending static software performance prediction approaches to be applied to mobile systems is to find a way to model the mobility behavior of software components. In this paper, we are concerned with two performance prediction approaches that have been provided with mobility modeling techniques. This enables us to use them for performance validation of mobile systems. The paper’s main focus is on presenting two mobility modeling techniques that were proposed for these two approaches in detail. Our objective is to study, analyze and compare them. The framework of each approach is also presented to see how both the technique and the approach fit together. | ||
