Synopsis

Military coalition operations impose stringent requirements of interoperability on military information systems. Assembling heterogeneous systems into distributed information systems poses many challenges to the software architects, notably on the question of overall performance from the users' perspective. This thesis reflects on the problem of ensuring performance in military distributed applications. Of particular interest to this work are the aspects of military performance metrics or measures of merit, the implementation aspects of such measures into the formal CORBA distributed software specification, the performance architectures offered by quality of service and UML performance modeling aspects. It is hoped that the notions discussed in this work will enable software architects in their difficult task of unifying information systems together.
