Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN)Peter R. Egli
Overview of Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) language for modeling business processes.
When implementing business processes, there is usually a large gap between the business semantics (process, activity, participant, orchestration, choreography, data items etc.) and the technical implementation languages (REST, WSDL, transport protocol, message bus etc.). BPMN has the goal of bridging this gap by providing a standard notation for describing business processes plus a standard mapping of this notation into an executable description language like WSBPEL. The BPMN 2.0 standard even allows executing BPMN business models directly without the need of a translation.
The core notation elements of BPMN are flow objects to model activities and events, data objects to model pieces of information, connecting objects to model information and control flow, and swimlanes to model process participants. Four different diagram types allow the modeling of processes, process choreographies, collaboration between participants and conversations.

BPMN is Method of illustrating business processes in the form of a diagram similar to a flowchart. Originally developed by the Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI).
Currently maintained by the Object Management Group (OMG). The current
version of BPMN is 2.0.

BPMN Extensions for Decentralized Execution and Monitoring of Business ProcessesJonas Anseeuw
Software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers are further expanding their offering by growing into the space of business process outsourcing (BPO). Therefore, the SaaS provider wants to administer and manage the business process steps according to a service level agreement. Outsourcing of business processes results in decentralized business workflows. However, current business process modeling languages, e.g. Business Process Execution Language (BPEL), Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), are based highly on a centralized execution model and current BPMN engines offer limited constructs for federation and decentralized execution. To guarantee execution of business processes according to a service level agreement, different parties involved in a federated workflow must be able to inspect the state of external workflows. This requires advanced inspection interfaces and monitoring facilities. Current business process modeling languages must thus be extended to support monitoring in the s pecification, support modeling and support deployment of decentralized workflows. In this paper, correlation and monitoring extensions for BPMN are described. These extensions to BPMN are described such that the existing specification can still be used as is in a backwards compatible way.
EMEA Partner Summit: jBPM 5 - Bringing More Power to BPMEric D. Schabell
A Business Process Management System (BPMS) offers you the capabilities to better manage and streamline your business processes. JBoss jBPM continues its vision in this area by offering a lightweight process engine for executing business processes, combined with the necessary services and tooling to support business processes in their entire lifecycles. This allows not only developers but also business users to manage your business processes more efficiently.
A lot has happened in the BPM area over the last few years, with the introduction of the BPMN 2.0 standard, the increasing interest in more dynamic and adaptive processes, integration with business rules and event processing, case management, etc. In this session, we will show you how jBPM5 tackles these challenges, disucss migration to this new plaform and give you an overview of its most important features.
BPM: is a comprehensive change management of business processes that results in continuous process improvement.
BPM Goal: efficient business process with visibility.
BPM System: manages People2People, System2System, and Person2System.
BPM Results: improve in financial, customer, and employee satisfaction.

13. Start, End, Intermediate
Event represent process start, something
during a process flow or process end.
Start Event represent process start
Intermediate Event represent during a
process flow
End Event represent process end
14. Task, Subprocess
Task represent a single unit of work.
◦ User task represent a task performed by a human user.
◦ Service task represent a task performed by a computing
agent.
Subprocess represent a complex multiple units of
work.
◦ Collapsed subprocess represent short form of the
complex work.
◦ Expanded subprocess represent long form of the
complex work.
15. Sequence Flow, Message
Flow
Sequence Flow represent the order in
which elements are performed in a
process. It connects activities,
gateways and events within a pool.
Message Flow represent message
communication between two pools.
16. Exclusive Gateway, Parallel
Gateway
Gateways represents control points in a
process.
Exclusive Gateway represents XOR logic,
i.e. only one of the output sequence flow is
chosen.
Parallel Gateway represents AND logic.
◦ AND-split represents all of the output sequence
are chosen
◦ AND-join represent all of the input sequence are
chosen
