DEGAS prototype (D27 and onwards)

• Here are links to the Extractor and the Reflector python scripts.

• Here is full documentation of the Python and Java versions.

• Here is a description of how they are used :
  
  
  
  • To start with :
    • Version 0.8.1 of ArgoUML
    • a PEPA Workbench version
    • a Python version
    • and a version of Minidom
    
    
    
  • Basic process :
    • draw diagrams in ArgoUML
    • save the model in ArgoUML which will generate automatically an XMI file
    • invoke the Extractor (you will then be asked to enter the name of an XMI file), that will give as an output a PEPA Workbench input
    • invoke the PEPA Workbench, that will give as an output an XML file with some performance information
    • invoke the Reflector (you will first be asked to enter the name of an XMI file, and then of an XML file), that will give a new XMI file
    • load this new XMI file in ArgoUML
  
  
  
  
• For more information, see
  • our UKPEW'2002 (Eighteenth Annual UK Performance Engineering Workshop) paper which explains in details how this bridge between a UML tool and a Performance tool works
