Architecting for System Performance

The course Architecting for System Performance addresses the architecting of business critical performance attributes of complex high tech systems. These attributes are generally time, resource and throughput related. The course covers performance architecting from an external (market, business) and internal (design) perspective.

Participants will develop an open, reflective, critical and problem solving attitude and related skills. This will be combined with applying practical models and methods.

The course starts with a number of industrial cases to put performance architecting in the right context and discusses practical models and methods that are common to all classes of performance attributes (like modeling and budgeting). Next, the course will focus on time-oriented performance by discussing topics like resource management and scheduling. During the course, an integral team assignment will be carried out based on an industrial case.
