A Framework for Automatically Detecting and Assessing Performance Antipatterns in Component Based Systems using Run-Time Analysis

We propose a framework for automatically detecting and assessing the impact of poor performance design (performance antipatterns) in component based systems using run time analysis. The framework consists of three modules, a monitoring module, a detection module, and a visualization module. Our framework borrows techniques from the field of Knowledge Discovery in Databases. We intend to instantiate the framework for the Enterprise Java Beans platform.
