This chapter illustrates both of the above-mentioned options. For quantitative
analysis, described in Sect. 8.2, we have chosen to propose a new top-down bottom-up
approach. Nevertheless, this approach also facilitates the integration with existent,
domain-specific analysis techniques. For functional analysis, explained in
Sect. 8.3, we have chosen the first approach, i.e., we show how existing techniques
from formal methods can be used in analysing the functional properties of
architectures.
