   ABSTRACT     = {Like any other software systems, service-based systems 
      (SBSs) evolve frequently to accommodate new user requirements. This 
      evolution may degrade their design and implementation and may cause 
      the introduction of common bad practice solutions -- antipatterns -- 
      in opposition to patterns which are good solutions to common 
      recurring design problems. We believe that the degradation of the 
      design of SBSs does not only affect the clients of the SBSs but also 
      the maintenance and evolution of the SBSs themselves. This paper 
      presents the results of an empirical study that aimed to quantify the 
      impact of service (anti)patterns on the maintenance and evolution of 
      SBSs. We measure the maintenance effort of a service implementation 
      in terms of the number of changes and the size of changes (i.e., Code 
      churns) performed by developers to maintain and evolve the service, 
      two effort metrics that have been widely used in software engineering 
      studies. Using data collected from the evolutionary history of the 
      SBS FraSCAti, we investigate if (1) services involved in patterns 
      require less maintenance effort, (2) services detected as 
      antipatterns require more maintenance effort than other services, and 
      (3) if some particular service antipatterns are more change-prone 
      than others. Results show that (1) services involved in patterns 
      require less maintenance effort, but not at statistically significant 
      level, (2) services detected as antipatterns require significantly 
      more maintenance effort than non-antipattern services, and (3) 
      services detected as God Component, Multi Service, and Service Chain 
      antipatterns are more change-prone (i.e., Require more maintenance 
      effort) than the services involved in other antipatterns. We also 
      analysed the relation between object-oriented code smells and service 
      patterns/antipatterns and found a significant difference in the 
      proportion of code smells contained in the implementations of service 
      (anti)patterns.}
