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 on how one would practically use a database such as Neo4j for a very specific use case.
In this chapter, we will see how to perform the following steps:
- Dissecting and understanding impact analysis systems. We will split the broader topic into two subtopics:
- Impact analysis</li>
- Impact simulation
- Applying impact analysis to a business process management use case using a detailed demonstration dataset.
- Applying impact simulation to a cost calculation use case, using another detailed demonstration dataset.
Let's get started straightaway.
