Abstract

Recently, Software as a Service (SaaS), a cloud-enabled business model, has received a lot of attention in the software industry. Among various facets of SaaS, the data layer design issues, such as schema customization and schema mapping, have been identified as one of the most important challenges for realizing economically scalable multi-tenant SaaS applications. In this paper, we propose an aspect-driven approach to deal with this challenge. After presenting the motivation and rationale of our work, we sketch the overall approach based on an example SaaS application.
