		- - “In this study, an event-driven analysis and design method for microservice-based systems called MicroArc is presented. The goal is to analyze and design microservice-based systems in an event-driven manner. It comprises modeling notations and a guiding process to articulate how the method is applied. MicroArc allows transitions between models; therefore, integration between models can be established, and changes can be reflected in connected models. Using this approach, developers can identify events and microservice candidates by modeling the flow of processes in the early phase of development” ([Yildiz e Demirors, p. 6](zotero://select/library/items/LIUMGVSB)) ([pdf](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/3LW8QF7T?page=6&annotation=E36CCWEK)) #ffd400
		- *The paper does not highlight the novelty of the proposed approach compared with the methodologies presented in the related work or with an existing baseline. The MicroArc methodologies rely on three different notations, BMC and EPC are existing languages developed a twe decades ago, and MCD, which seems to be conceived by the authors. None of the these languages have been discussed with existing languages, link BPMN. The evaluation of the methodology is not convincing as the authors discussed at a high level of abstraction the application of the approach on a case study. Said that, the paper cannot be accepted as it is, as it lacks details and discussions on the strenghts and limitations of the proposed languages with respect to existing notations and tools.*
- ### [[Comments]]
	- Summary: The paper presents a methodology called MicroArc for developing microservice-based systems by means of three modeling notations: the Business Model Canvas (BMC), Event-driven Process Chain (EPC), and Microservice Communication Diagram (MCD). The application of the approach in a case study has also been discussed.
	- Comments: While the paper is about an interesting and relevant topic, it does not sufficiently highlight the novelty of the proposed approach when compared with methodologies presented in related work or existing baselines. The MicroArc methodology relies on three different notations: BMC and EPC, which are established languages developed decades ago, and MCD, which appears to be introduced by the authors. However, there is no discussion on how these languages compare with existing ones, such as BPMN. Additionally, the evaluation of the methodology needs to be more convincing as the authors discuss the application of the approach at a high level of abstraction without providing detailed case studies or comparative analysis. Therefore, the paper cannot be accepted in its current form, as it lacks comprehensive details and discussions on the strengths and limitations of the proposed languages in comparison to existing notations and tools.
