The software tool HIT provides for model-based performance evaluation of computing and communication systems during all phases of their life cycle. Speciication of (models of) dynamic, discrete-event, stochastic systems is achieved by particular language-and graphics-based description options. Performance evaluation of accordingly speciied models is supported by a variety of techniques of the simulative and analytical types. 1 Properties/Model World HIT is a comprehensive software tool supporting the model-based evaluation of computing system performance. HIT models exhibit a highly structured view of the systems to be assessed, based on (vertical) functional hierarchies and (horizontal) modularizati-on as employed in modern software engineering and hardware architecture approaches. The HIT model world is tailored upon the prevailing view of computing system structures as partitioning a system vertically, into a sequence of layers and levels, communicating via function calls, and jointly representing a hierarchy of virtual machines; horizontally, into independent, mutually well-protected, information-hiding modules , each realizing some subset of functions to be provided at a particular level. Although originally developed for evaluating computing system performance, HIT also lends itself to the analysis of similar" systems such as communication and ooce systems, transport and logistic systems and others, all of the dynamic, discrete-event, stochastic type. 2 Speciication The speciication of models is supported by a particular model description language, HI-SLANG, and/or a graphical interface, HITGRAPHIC.
