Detecting Performance Antipatterns in Com-ponent Based Enterprise Systems.

We introduce an approach for automatic detection of performance antipatterns.The approach is based on a number of advanced monitoring and analysis techniques.The advanced analysis is used to identify relationships and patterns in the monitored data.This information is subsequently used to reconstruct a design model of the underlying system, which is loaded into a rule engine in order to identify predefined antipatterns.We give results of applying this approach to identify a number of antipatterns in two JEE applications.Finally, this work also categorises JEE antipatterns into categories based on the data needed to detect them.
