Dr Connie Smith One Day Performance WorkshopSPE: Performance Antipatterns, SOA & Modelling Tool InteroperabilityDr Connie Smith, Performance Engineering Services Sunday 18th May 2008, 09:00-17:00 UKCMG is pleased to announce its full-day Performance Engineering Masterclass presented by Dr Connie Smith of Performance Engineering Services. Software Performance Engineering (SPE) provides methods and models for assessing the performance impact of software design decisions. With SPE developers build performance into new systems and manage computer and network resource requirements by making appropriate software and hardware choices early. With SPE, you can avoid last minute performance crises that delay delivery, increase costs of software development and hardware, and threaten project success. Course Objectives The presentation addresses issues of concern to developers and performance engineers, such as: What is SPE? When is it essential? How does it work? How can you predict performance before you have completed the design? How accurate are predictions? What data is required? How do you get data? It reviews the technology underlying SPE and briefly describes the performance prediction process and models, without the mathematical details. Case study results illustrate the concepts. The presentation then introduces topics that have emerged since the publication of the Performance Solutions book: New performance antipatterns, performance models of Service Oriented Architectures, and a comprehensive look at recent work on modeling tool interoperability through the use of interchange formats. Speaker Biography Dr Connie Smith, a principal consultant of the Performance Engineering Services Division of L&S Computer Technology, Inc., is known for her work in defining the field of SPE and integrating SPE into the development of new software systems. Dr. Smith received the Computer Measurement Group's prestigious AA Michelson Award for technical excellence and professional contributions for her SPE work. She also authored the original SPE book: Performance Engineering of Software Systems, published in 1990 by Addison-Wesley, and approximately 100 scientific papers. She is the creator of the SPE·ED™ performance engineering tool. She has over 25 years of experience in the practice, teaching, research and development of the SPE performance prediction techniques.
