An economics-driven approach for valuing scalability in distributed architectures
<07>The paper makes novel use of real options theory to value the dynamic scalability of software architectures under uncertainty. The work is unique in linking dynamic scalability to value creation using options thinking. The work received invitations to IBM Watson Research Centre; INFORMS (the largest forum for operations research and management science); successive invitations to seminars and workshops (e.g. Open University lunch time seminar, Crest Workshops at UCL) and an invited book chapter (compiling 17 highly-selective contributions from key researchers in the field). WICSA is the flagship international conference on software architectures. Acceptance rate was 25%( 7th version).
