Workflow Patterns Support
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM implements many of the workflow patterns defined by the Workflow Patterns initiative, giving it the capability to handle the widest range of possible scenarios for business process modeling and execution.
(The Workflow Patterns initiative is a joint effort of Eindhoven University of Technology and Queensland University of Technology that provides a conceptual basis for business process management systems. Their research identifies numerous patterns that it is desirable for a workflow language or a business process modeling language to support.)
The workflow patterns are grouped into different perspectives, which provide different ways of analyzing workflow:
- Resource: Resource patterns capture the various ways in which resources are represented and utilized in workflows. For more information about how TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM supports these patterns, see Workflow Resource Patterns Support.
- Control-flow: Control-flow (or process) patterns capture the various ways in which activities are represented and controlled in workflows. For more information about how TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM supports these patterns, see Workflow Process Patterns Support.
- Data: Data patterns capture the various ways in which data is represented and utilized in workflows. For more information about how TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM supports these patterns, see Workflow Data Patterns Support.
