What is BPM?

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

Business Process Management

jBPM Project

(Executable) business processes

open-source, light-weight engine

from embedded to as a service

Native BPMN 2.0 support

Both developers and business users

Entire life cycle

Advanced, adaptive processes

How to handle
Complexity?

Ready for the future?

Traditional BPM systems have problems with change, complexity, flexibility, data-intensive applications, etc.

Adaptive Case Management (ACM)

Unstructured, non-lineair or flexible processes

Event-driven BPM (edBPM)

Advanced, adaptive process?

Adaptive Processes

Process Instance Migration

Process FragmentsAd-Hoc (Sub-) Processes

DeviationDynamically adapt one instance

Combining business rules + events

Ad-Hoc Processes

Example: Clinical DSS

Combining Processes, Rules and Events

IntegrationFrom loose coupling

To advanced integration

UnificationProcesses and (event) rules are different types of business knowledge assets

Tooling (IDE, repository, management)

Integration
How to integrate with Service X?

Integration

Service Task

SynchronousInstantaneous execution

Part of same transaction

AsynchronousNotify engine when completed

Using async communicationE.g. (new Thread), messaging, async invocation (WS), etc.

Integration

Avoid implementation details in process

As higher-level, domain-specific services

Examples

Human task

Java method

WS, Rest

Email, Twitter

FTP, RSS, Jabber

Finder, Exec, Archive

Google Calendar
