Abstract
Synchronous Reactive Modelling provides an optimal framework for the modular decomposition of programs that engage in complex patterns of deterministic interaction, such as many real-time and communication entities. This paper presents an approach which includes performance modelling techniques in the Synchronous Reactive Modelling method supported by Esterel. It defines a methodology based on timing and probabilistic quantitative constructs which complete the functional models. A monitoring mechanism provides performance results during the simulation. This methodology is applied to a protocol modelling case study. Performance metrics are computed and compared with known reference results.
