Real-time data-processing applications, such as those developed using Apache Storm, need to address highly demanding performance requirements. Engineers should assess these performance requirements while they configure their Storm designs to specific execution contexts, i.e., multiuser private or public cloud infrastructures. To this end, we propose a quality-driven framework for Apache Storm, that covers the following steps. The design with UML, using a novel profile for Apache Storm, allowing performance metrics definition. The transformation of the design into a performance model, concretely stochastic Petri nets. Last but not least, the simulation of the performance model and the retrieval of performance results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
