Abstract
A performance model interchange format (PMIF) provides a mechanism whereby system model information may be transferred among performance modeling tools. The PMIF allows diverse tools to exchange information and requires only that the importing and exporting tools support the PMIF. This paper presents the definition of a PMIF by describing a meta-model of the information requirements and the transfer format derived from it. It describes how tool developers can implement the PMIF, how the model interchange via export and import works in practice, and how the PMIF can be extended. A simple case study illustrates the format. The paper concludes with the current status of the PMIF, lessons learned, some suggestions for extensions, and current work in progress.
