Abstract
A Business Continuity Management (BCM) Impact Analysis derives business-level BCM SLAs which need to be translated at IT-level, infrastructure-level and facility-level services. However, translation of SLAs across a service oriented system is not an easy task.
In this patent we present a new Petri-Net based procedure to define and to translate BCM SLAs for service oriented systems. As a result of our approach we are able to introduce a BCM SLA classification schema. We will describe our approach in the context of a use-case.
The research leading to these results is partially supported by the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2001-2013) under grant agreement no.216556.
