Auto-Modularity Enforcement Framework Using Micro-service Architecture

Abstract

The evolution of the software architecture has been progressively shifting to emphasize modularity, isolation, scalability, agility, and loose coupling. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) has started to gain popularity in this direction. Micro-services are a lightweight SOA that aim to largely scale applications while ensuring isolation and distribution. Modularity is sometimes left behind or difficult to achieve with fine-grained distribution of programmer responsibilities. In this paper, we propose an automatic modularity enforcement (AME) framework during the software development life cycle (SDLC) through intermediate representation. Our idea was inspired by automatic software development for building a scalable application. We implemented this framework to support visual software development using the Java Spring Boot Micro-service tool.

Software Design Pattern Analysis for Micro-Service Architecture using Queuing Networks (S)

“…Finding the most appropriate expression can estimate software development costs, which are important for analyzing the performance of our three different structural patterns with keeping a relatively low development cost. The general form of an algorithmic cost estimation can be expressed as: (1) where A is constant factor that depends on the type of final software product, S is the code size of the software or functionalities of certain components, B is the exponential factor that usually lies in range of [1, 1.5], indicating the fact that costs do not linearly increase with project size, and M is a constant multiplier for combing process such as dependability requirements. Our automatic code generation tool is built based on Micro-service applications.…”

“…Our process begins with IC cards, which define the service interactions witnessed in the architecture being designed [1]. Once the IC cards are defined, the ICMS can output an XML specification as shown in Fig.…”
