Abstract
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) modularization as employed in modern software engineering and hardware architecture approaches. Analysis of HIT models is provided by analytic-algebraical, analytic-numerical, exact and approximate techniques and by discrete-event simulation. Both model description and model analysis utilize the model structure for convenient problem specification and efficient evaluation, respectively. Particular emphasis is placed on decomposition and aggregation options and on a mixed (heterogeneous) use of different analysis techniques. Great care is also employed with respect to tool handling aspects. This paper describes recent extensions of the HIT modelling environment and illustrates it by way of an extended office model example.
