             abstract = "Microservice is an architectural style that proposes that a 
                         complex system should be developed from small and independent 
                         services that work together. There is not a welldefined boundary 
                         about when a software architecture can be considered based on 
                         microservices or not. Because of that, defining microservices 
                         context and infrastructure is challenging, especially to 
                         characterize aspects related to microservice size, data 
                         consistency, and microservices coupling. Thus, it is crucial to 
                         understand the microservices-based software characteristics, to 
                         comprehend the impact of some evolutions on architecture, and 
                         evaluate how much a particular architecture fits the microservices 
                         architectural style. Therefore, based on bibliographic research 
                         and case studies conducted in academical and industrial 
                         environments, we aim to propose a model to characterize the 
                         architecture structure based on the main guidelines of the 
                         microservice architectural style. This model introduces dimensions 
                         that measure characteristics based on modules size, coupling to 
                         data sources, and service collaboration. This study should 
                         facilitate the mapping, measurement, and monitoring of different 
                         impacts generated in the software architecture from increments and 
                         refactoring performed. This work is on the initial development 
                         stage and as a result, we expected that the model supports 
                         architectural decisions that consider different quality attributes 
                         to achieve the right balance between service independence and 
                         collaboration for a given system.",
