A framework for detecting performance design and deployment antipatterns in component based enterprise systems

In this paper a framework to automatically detect design and de-ployment antipatterns in component based enterprise systems is presented. The approach taken monitors a running system and makes use of statistical analysis and techniques from the field of data mining to summarise the performance data collected. Perfor-mance antipatterns are detected from the summarised data using a rule-engine approach and are assessed in terms of their performance impact using performance models. Any antipatterns found are pre-sented to the user in a diagramatic format
