Towards a multi-perspective assessment of scalability of distributed IT services
Zsófia Derzsi, Jaap Gordijn · 2007
Abstract. Scalability is an important issue in distributed IT service design and should be addressed at least from technical and economic perspectives. We present a conceptual framework that addresses scalability from these two perspectives. To explore scalability of distributed services, our framework employs a value model and UML deployment model to describe scalability concerns of a distributed, commercial IT service. We illustrate our approach by a case study. 1
