Abstract
A business process model (BPM) handler may determine a business process model including tasks arranged according to a directed graph, at least some of the tasks associated with requirements for executing the tasks. An information technology topology model (ITTM) handler may determine an information technology topology model with connected resources used to perform at least some of the tasks. A behavior model generator may determine behaviors of the resources from a behavior information library, and may generate a behavior model in which the tasks and their respective requirements are connected to the resources and to their respective behaviors. A continuity analyzer may thus provide a continuity analysis, based on the behavior model.
