摘要：Software as a Service (SaaS) is a new software delivery model in which pre-built applicationsare delivered to customers as a service. SaaS providers aim to attract a large number of tenants(users) with minimal system modifications to meet economics of scale. To achieve this aim, SaaSapplications have to be customizable to meet requirements of each tenant. However, due to therapid growing of the SaaS, SaaS applications could have thousands of tenants with a hugenumber of ways to customize applications. Modularizing such customizations still is a highlycomplex task. Additionally, due to the big variation of requirements for tenants, no singlecustomization model is appropriate for all tenants. In this paper, we propose a multidimensionalcustomization model based on metagraph. The proposed mode addresses themodelling variability among tenants, describes customizations and their relationships, andguarantees the correctness of SaaS customizations made by tenants.
