New LINE release: added BPMN and PMIF support
The new release (v 0.7) of LINE, our layered queueing network solver, provides initial support for the performance evaluation of BPMN collaboration diagrams. LINE reads the BPMN model in the standard BPMN XML format, augmented with timing information, and analyzes it by means of a model-to-model transformation to LQN models. We also added scripts to read PMIF models.

Accepted Paper at IEEE CLOUD 2015
Our paper J.Wen, L.Lu, G.Casale, E.Smirni “Less can be More: micro-Managing VMs in Amazon EC2” has been accepted for IEEE CLOUD 2015. The paper presents a performance characterization of t1.micro VMs on Amazon EC2. The paper also examines the cost-performance trade-offs of t1.micro and proposes an algorithm for managing long running applications in spite of capacity stealing by the… Read more »
