The "Performance and Capacity Planning Method for BPEL4WS-based Business
Process Automation" refers to the ability to predict resource consumption
of a defined set of business processes automatically executed on an IT
server system. A prediction model integrates all factors that influence a resource
consumption prediction into a single tool. On the basis of a prediction
model an accurate hardware configuration can be proposed which is able to
run the defined set of business processes with the required throughput.
This book gives a complete overview of how to develop, verify, and apply a
performance and capacity planning method for BPEL-based processes in general.
In particular, the performance and capacity planning method is
established for BPEL-based business processes on IBM WebSphere software.
