Abstract
Failures which result from performance defects are always fatal to the development of software. The best way to solve this problem is to bring performance evaluation mechanism of software into the process of software development life cycle through the way of modeling and simulation of software. Because of the differences between the semantic of UML and CPN, this paper applies the though of modular conversion, providing an intermediate model to standardize UML sequence diagram and CPN models, which establishes a bridge between the two models. The process is automatic and needs little manual intervention. The converted CPN models can be used in software performance evaluation directly. An example is given to verify the effectiveness and reasonability of this method.
