Learning Neo4j 3.x - Second Edition

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 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:

• 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 ...
