Abstract

A Performance Model Interchange Format (PMIF) provides a mechanism whereby system model information may be transferred among queueing network model (QNM) based modeling tools. Such a tool would only need to have PMIF import/export mechanisms. The XML specification of the PMIF allows implementers to use widely available tools to parse the XML file, check the syntax, and simplify the translation to/from the XML format. Those tools, however, do not know the semantics of a QNM so they cannot check the XML to ensure that it contains a valid QNM. This paper presents a semantic validation tool that can be used by anyone (user or tool developer) who wants to work with PMIF.
