In Business process management, the Key Performance Indicator (price, velocity, customer satisfaction...) may be related to each other. Such analysis is usually done by statistical method or by studying optimization of business utility. [Bitsaki 2009] | |||

In compiler theory, dependence analysis produces execution-order constraints between statements/instructions. Broadly speaking, a statement S2 depends on S1 if S1 must be executed before S2. Broadly, there are two classes of dependencies--control dependencies and data dependencies. Dependence analysis determines whether or not it is safe to reorder or parallelize statements [Wikipedia]. | ||||
