The document discusses business process simulation using BPMN. It describes how a BPMN simulation model includes a process model along with simulation parameters. These parameters include activity parameters, event parameters, resourcing parameters, and metadata. The simulation can then be run using different simulation scenario parameters and options through a standards-based API.
