CMMN 1.0

• Published by OMG in May 2014 as the BPMN-equivalent for „Cases“

• Targets „Activities that are not so predefined and repeatable, but instead depend on evolving circumstances and ad hoc decisions by knowledge workers regarding a particular situation, a case (see Davenport 1994 and 2005; and Van der Aalst 2005)”

• Typical Use Cases:• application and claim processing in insurance• patient care and medical diagnosis in healthcare• problem resolution in call centers• invoice discrepancy handling
