A Tool to Automate the Sizing of Application Process for SOA based Platform

SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) is a loosely-coupled architecture designed to tackle the problem of Business/Infrastructure alignment to meet the needs of an organization. A SOA based platform enables the enterprises to develop applications in the form of independent services. To provide scalable service interactions, there is a need to maintain service’s performance and have a good sizing guideline of the underlying software platform. Sizing aids in finding the optimum resources required to configure and implement a system that would satisfy the requirements of BPI(Business Process Integration) being planned. A web based Sizing Tool prototype is developed using Java APIs(Application Programming Interface) to automate the process of sizing the applications deployed on SOA platform that not only scales the performance of the system but also predicts its business growth in the future. Keywords— SOA(Service Oriented Architecture), SOA Platforms, SOA Sizing, Sizing Tool prototype, Java Sizing API.
