Abstract

Manually reasoning about candidate refactorings to alleviate bottlenecks in service-oriented systems is hard, even when using high-level architecture/deployment models. Nevertheless, it is common practice in industry. Elmo is a decision support tool that helps service-oriented architects and deployment engineers to analyze and refactor architectural and deployment bottlenecks in service-oriented systems.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Note that although this is currently a manual activity, we are planning to investigate integration of Elmo with existing tools to (semi-)automatically generate models of existing service-oriented systems (e.g., [11]).
