Study Notes

BPMN and Applications

BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) includes gateways for decision-making with two types: exclusive (X) and parallel (O).
Deadlock scenario occurs when a process waits for conditions (A and B) to be fulfilled to proceed.

Camunda Tutorial

Next steps involve completing a Camunda tutorial by November 18, including downloading, installation, and deployment of processes.
The tutorial covers human involvement, dynamic processes, and defining forms for user interaction.

Implementation Costs for Workflow Management Systems (WfMS)

Software development involves programming and modeling efforts, including the need for existing systems to be integrated.
Dependency on specific vendors can complicate transitions to alternative solutions.

Standard Software and Training

Current software offers high functionality, cost advantages, and requires organizational change.
Challenges include the need for specialized training and evolving employee requirements in response to new tools.

Web Service Interaction

Web clients communicate with an application server via HTTP requests and responses on port 8080.
JSON formatted results are returned following program execution after a request is made.

Reading Assignments and Deadlines

Multiple readings from specified texts are due on various dates, emphasizing business process management and IT support for process management.
The focus areas include detailed BPMN notation and aspects of automation in business processes.
