Abstract

The embodiments include a data processing apparatus for conducting a business impact analysis for a service oriented architecture (SOA) that includes a plurality of processes and services. The data processing apparatus may include a process table generator configured to generate a first impact table for a first process and a second impact table for a second process, and a service table generator configured to generate a service impact table for a top-level service, a dependency model generator configured to generate a dependency model arranging the plurality of services with dependency links, an analysis model generator configured to generate a BEAM based on the service impact table, the dependency model and a selected service level agreement, a simulator configured to simulate the BEAM over a period of time, and a service level agreement classifier configured to classify the selected service level agreement based on one or more violations.
