In the current paper, we aim at carrying out a performability analysis of service configurations to estimate the cost of using reliable messaging techniques for services with respect to performance. Such an analysis is enabled by automated model transformations carried out within the VIATRA2 framework.}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-01648-6_17}, author = {L{\'a}szl{\'o} G{\"o}nczy and Zsolt D{\'e}ri and D{\'a}niel Varr{\'o}}, editor = {Michel R.
