In AquaLogic BPM Suite 6.1 we are improving our support for BPMN. Below is a pre-release snapshot showing a process represented with the updated BPMN constructs. You should notice the improved editor showing the BPMN functional groups, on the right side, such as: Activities, Gateways, Events, Flow, Globals, and Artifacts. The Business Analyst profile has been revisited as well to maximize modeling space and easy-of-use.

To improve BPMN support we added a new Timer activity and updated some icons to better match the spec. Below are some of the new and updated icons - the final icons will be included in the 6.1 package, this is still work in progress:

The meaning of the icons above, from left to right, top to bottom, with their respective BPMN (ALBPM) equivalents are: XOR (Conditional), Loop, Message Event (Notification Wait One Argument), Multiple Event (Notification Wait Multiple Argument), OR (Split Or), Send Message Event (Process Notification), AND (Split), Multiple Instance (Split N), and Timer Event (Timer Activity).

For a complete list of BPMN references and general information of the spec please visit:

• Official BPMN Site
• BPMN Wikipedia

This is it for now, more updates about ALBPM 6.1 coming soon here!
