Business Process
A business process is a process that describes
the order in which a series of steps need to be executed,
using a flow chart.

BPM is a disciplineMany actors
Entire life cycle
We focus on executable processes
Core engine = key component
BPM Advantages
Visibility and transparency
Monitoring
Higher-level (involve business analysts)
Automation, continuous improvement
Increased speed of development
Increased agility (change process more easily)
and many more ...

Key Characteristics
Business process engineusing BPMN2 standard (native execution)
lightweight, embeddable
generic process engine
Full life cycle support
Higher-level, domain-specific processes
Powerful business rules and event processing integration
BPMN 2.0
OMG standard that definesGraphical notation
Process definition format (XSD / XMI)
Execution semantics
Extensible
Interoperability !

jBPM5 Roadmap
Currently under community review
More details soon !
jBPM 5.0Focus on core components
Near the end of the year
Productization approximately 6 months later
Regular (2-3 month) releases after that
Migration
Migration process from jBPM 3 or 4One-shot migration process
Process definitionTransform jPDL to BPMN2
Semi-automatic

Adaptive Processes
Traditional workflow management systems have problems withChange
Complexity
Flexibility
Data-based
!!! HOT !!!
Do we want this?
Agility=Variability+Change
How?
Decision service to externalize decision logic as business rules
Process improvementMigration of running instances
Unanticipated work
Unstructure processes
Processes, rules and events working together
Non-lineair processes
Processes + Rules + Events
A business solution usually involves the interaction between these technologies.Technology overlap
Business overlap
Several (good) products on the market, better either at rule or business process or event processing
Attribute the same importance to the three complementary business modeling techniques
