It comprises the provisioning of data center resources and the deployment of software components to these resources. The goal is to continuously provide adequate capacity, i. e., service level agreements should be satisfied while keeping investment and operating costs reasonably low. Traditional capacity management strategies are rather static and pessimistic: resources are provisioned for anticipated peak workload levels. Particularly, enterprise application systems are exposed to highly varying workloads, leading to unnecessarily high total cost of ownership due to poor resource usage efficiency caused by the aforementioned static capacity management approach. During the past years, technologies emerged that enable dynamic data center infrastructures—e. g., leveraged by cloud computing products. These technologies build the foundation for elastic online capacity management, i. e., adapting the provided capacity to workload demands based on a shortterm horizon. Because manual online capacity management is not an option, automatic control approaches have been proposed. However, most of these approaches focus on coarse-grained adaptation actions and adaptation decisions are based on aggregated system-level measures. Architectural information about the controlled software system is rarely considered. This thesis introduces a model-driven online capacity management approach for distributed component-based software systems, called SLAstic. The core contributions of this approach are a) modeling languages to capture relevant architectural information about a controlled software system, b) an architecture-based online capacity management framework based on the common MAPE-K control loop architecture, c) model-driven techniques supporting the automation of the approach, d) architectural runtime reconfiguration operations for controlling a system’s capacity, e) as well as an integration of the Palladio Component Model. A qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the approach is performed by case studies, lab experiments, and simulation. 4950 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:8:1-zs-00000320-a6$xR$3Volltext$534 4961 https://macau.uni-kiel.de/receive/macau_mods_00002258 5051 004 5550 capacity management 5550 dynamic analysis 5550 Model-driven software engineering 5550 monitoring 5550 runtime reconfiguration 5550 software architecture 5550 software performance engineering
