Social BPM Work, Planning and Collaboration Under the Impact of Social Technology
Release date: June 2011
The Quantum Organization:
How Social Technology will Displace the Newtonian View Keith Swenson, Vice President of R&D, Fujitsu America Inc. We find ourselves standing on the crux of a change so profound that it will affect every aspect of our working lives. It is a change in the very way that we think about organizations and how people interact within organizations. IndustrialRevolution ideas are being replaced by Information Revolution ideas, and management is feeling a crisis similar to that felt by physicists when the Newtonian view of the universe was replaced by a quantum view of the universe. We can use this shift in the field of physics as a parallel that illustrates the same kinds of changes that management science and information technology are seeing today.
Making a BPMN 2.0 Model Executable Lloyd Dugan, Senior Project Director/CTO, Information Engineering
Services, Inc., and Nathaniel Palmer, Executive Director, WfMC, USA The advent of BPMN 2.0 provides a breakthrough in bridging the communication divide through two notable advances. One is an expanded iconic set offering more procedural and message-level behavior than before. The other, and most controversial, is a new serialization format containing implementation details for an executing platform. This chapter proposes a set of minimum characteristics for an executable BPMN 2.0 model as well as modeling guidelines that ensure modeled elements map to executing components. This approach applies to all areas of BPMN modeling, but is also necessary for leveraging the emerging class of BPMS environment where processes orchestrate services within a Service Component Architecture (SCA) composite. The result is a design pattern for implementing BPMN processes that is particularly applicable to applications that run as services and leverage SOA components.
Yet the advent of a serialization format does not alone resolve the issues otherwise surrounding executable models. Well-designed models require the first principles of modeling to ensure that design-time BPMN constructs follow the necessary characteristics of an executable model.

XPDL 2.0: Integrating Process Interchange and BPMN (316kb PDF) Robert M. Shapiro, Global 360, USA. Extract: The Business Process Management Notation (BPMN) was developed by individuals working together in the Business Process Management Initiative to take the techniques employed in flowcharting tools, unify and extend the graphics to express the semantics required in workflow and EAI processes. BPMN 1.0 was released in May 2004. In addition to the graphical notation, BPMN incorporated a number of specific mechanisms for process modeling that had not yet been included in XPDL; among these in particular events and message passing between processes. XPDL 2.0 incorporates these mechanisms as well as the graphics and offers an extended meta-model that unifies XPDL and BPMN.
