Abstract:
After a comeback in recent years, In-memory systems are now among several candidate solutions to solve future IT challenges. Despite the increased interest in the technology, however, there is a hesitant spread. One reason could be the lack of practical application scenarios that decision makers can apply to their business context. The aim of this work is to introduce a framework to support the evaluation of potential In-memory applications. Relevant factors that influence a possible In-memory use were evaluated using the Multi-Attribute Utility Theory approach, accompanied by an expert survey and therefore create a base for the framework. The framework is then used to evaluate 10 complex real-world In-memory use case scenarios. The results show that the presented approach in this work is suitable to both assess possible use cases and determine cases with high potential.
