Experience on a Microservice-Based Reference Architecture for Measurement Systems

In our former work we proposed a micro service-based reference architecture for Enterprise Measurement Infrastructures (EMI) which received encouraging feedback. The reference architecture supports the systematic development of measurement systems. This paper provides deeper insight into the application of the reference architecture by presenting the results of two field studies after an examination of the most important requirements that drove the development of the reference architecture. The two selected field studies were conducted with large cooperation partners from industry and research and addressed real problems. Using our reference architecture, development process, and requirements gathering techniques we were able to successfully build the EMIs presented in this paper. These results further ease the application of micro service inside our reference architecture and support practitioners with specific examples.
