The resulting benchmarking framework, which we called Elas- ticDTMBench, integrates and extends a number of open-source projects, and is also distributed as an open-source project that will be made shortly publicly available on the web. By adopting an open-source licensing scheme and a flexible, and easily extensible design, our hope is that ElasticDTMBench can become a reference framework for the researchers active in this challenging emerging area.
