Design of next-generation computing and communication systems will be application-driven and will require fundamental advances in performance engineering frameworks, methods, and tools and in adaptive compilation and run-time support techniques. This work takes a systematic and synergetic approach to developing both of these capabilities and will demonstrate their use via application to several important distributed applications. In conducting the work, researchers will make fundamental advances in techniques for system and model composition, multilevel/formalism modeling and performance evaluation, adaptive compilation, and dynamic run-time support.
