public interface Workload
extends org.eclipse.emf.cdo.CDOObject

A representation of the model object 'Workload'. A Workload specifies the usage intensity of a system, which relates to the number of users concurrently present in the system. The PCM usage model adopts this concept from classical queueing theory [123]. The specified workloads can directly be used in queueing networks or easily be mapped to markings in stochastic Petri nets. Workloads can either be open or closed. The algorithms used to analyse queueing networks differ depending on whether open or closed workloads are modelled [123]. Some special queueing networks can only be analysed given a particular workload type (open or closed). Notice, that it is possible to specify a usage model with open workload usage scenarios and closed workload usage scenarios at the same time. Open and closed workloads can be executed in parallel when analysing the model. [123] E. Lazowska, J. Zahorjan, G. Graham, and K. Sevcik, Quantitative System Performance. Prentice Hall, 1984.

Method Detail

getUsageScenario_Workload

UsageScenario getUsageScenario_Workload()

Returns the value of the 'Usage Scenario Workload' container reference. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Workload Usage Scenario'.

If the meaning of the 'Usage Scenario Workload' container reference isn't clear, there really should be more of a description here...

Returns:

the value of the 'Usage Scenario Workload' container reference.

setUsageScenario_Workload

void setUsageScenario_Workload(UsageScenario value)

Sets the value of the 'Usage Scenario Workload' container reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Usage Scenario Workload' container reference.
