Business Process Management with JBoss jBPM

Description

This book teaches Business Analysts to model business processes in JBoss jBPM and generate workflow application code from their models without Java coding expertise. It is a full toolkit for anyone wanting to implement Business Process Management correctly, covering tasks common to all BPM implementations, although it is focused on popular, free, open-source jBPM, with its flexible, scalable process engine, pluggable modular architecture, and easy programming model (jPDL) blending the best of Java and declarative techniques. The practical approach with step-by-step instructions uses a realistic case study to explore and explain BPM, model creation, and implementation. It covers: efficient, standards-friendly mapping of business processes; using the jBPM toolset to work with business process maps, analyze process execution data, and for ongoing process improvement; setting up business rules: task assignments, escalation points; process variables; automating activities and decisions.
