Chapter 7. Use Case Example – Impact Analysis and Simulation
In this chapter, we will look at how we can use the Neo4j graph database for another very specific use case: impact analysis. All the discussions so far have led us to this discussion, where we really want to zoom in how one would practically use a database such as Neo4j for a very specific use case.
In this chapter, we are going to learn how to perform the following steps:
- Dissect and understand impact analysis systems. We will split the broader topic into two subtopics: impact analysis and impact simulation.
- Apply impact analysis to a Business Process Management use case by using a detailed demonstration dataset.
- Apply impact simulation to a cost calculation use case, using another detailed demonstration dataset.
Let's get started straightaway.
