A performance designer is a role at Tier 3 and is responsible to configure performance-related system properties. Therefore, predefined Activities within components are configured exploiting their left-open variability such that several Activities form trigger chains and thus realize application-specific end-to-end timings. Based on a performance model, a Compositional Performance Analysis (CPA) can be automatically triggered to simulate and validate the envisioned run-time performance of a system. Moreover, a performance model can be used by the System Builder role to refine the instantiated components of a given system. Further details can be found in:
