Abstract
Software Performance Engineering (SPE) provides an approach to constru cting systems to meet performance objectives. This paper illustrates t he application of SPE to an example with some real-time properties and demonstrates how to compare performance characteristics of design alt ernatives. We show how SPE can be integrated with design methods and d emonstrate that performance requirements can be achieved without sacri ficing other desirable design qualities such as understandability, mai ntainability, and reusability.
