Antipattern-based model refactoring for software performance improvement

Abstract

Identifying and removing the causes of poor performance in software systems are complex problems due to a variety of factors to take into account. Nowadays these problems are usually tackled after the software deployment only with human-based means, which frequently boil down to developer skills and previous experiences. Performance antipatterns can be used to cope with these problems since they capture typical design patterns that are known leading to performance problems, as well as refactoring actions that can be taken to remove them.
