Modeling and simulation of business processes is a powerful capability for analysis of business solutions in a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). This paper describes analysis techniques that are applicable during the design-time and runtime development of business solutions to estimate business process performance. During the design phase, the analysis framework converts the business process model, which is annotated with additional information, into a more granular model by using an underlying middleware model that describes all the middleware components in an SOA. The resulting model can then be evaluated in terms of performance and cost.
