Abstract
Modern business information systems are continuously subject to technical, functional and architectural changes aimed at meeting the needs of end users. However, these systems are monolithic making this update and maintenance a big problem. For these reasons and to outface with this monolithic architecture, micro-services allows us to migrate systems with strongly coupled components to systems with weakly coupled, highly cohesive and fine-grained components. These micro-services will allow the organization to react more quickly to new customer demands and requirements and to avoid an interminable development process over several years. Indeed, the main challenge is to determine an appropriate partition of the monolithic system since generally the process of identifying micro-services is done in an intuitive way based on the experience of the software designers and developers and based on the judgment of domain experts. To meet this challenge, this paper proposes a multi-model based on a set of business processes. This approach combines two different independent dimensions: control dependency and data dependency. We will be based on three clustering algorithm in order to automatically identify candidates micro-services.
