Multi-Vendor BPMN Interchange Demonstration

Another reason for adopting of BPMN. The BPMN Model Interchange Working Group (BPMN MIWG) held its 4th BPMN interchange capability demonstration. This demonstration involved several BPMN software vendors collaborating to create a BPMN model and then have it execute on various BPMN based business process engines. BTW unless the BPMN process model is developed in accordance to the standard, it defeats many key purposes of BPMN, including interchangeability and executability. Enjoy the demo.

BPMN Process Model - Descriptive, Analytic (Operational) to Executable

It is often said that BPMN 2.0 is becoming too complicated comparing to 1.0 and 1.2, especially for business users and process modelers in general. The comprehensive notation set in BPMN 2.0, in fact, is one of its key benefits in comparison to its predecessors – the ability of the business process models to be executed on the process engines. Taking the appropriate method, BPMN 2.0 serves both as a practitioner’s notation for process design and modelling and process execution on process engine. The purpose of this paper is to explore the three levels method – descriptive, analytic and executable – in the process modelling to suit the business users, the business process practitioners and lastly the process engineers running the process model on a process engine.
