Subject-oriented business process management
open-in-new
<p>Subject-oriented business process management (S-BPM) is a communication based view on <a href="/facts/Actor_model/MJ49opnU">actors</a> (the subjects), which compose a business process orchestration or choreography. The modeling paradigm uses five symbols to model any process and allows direct transformation into executable form. </p><p>Each business process consists of two or more <i>subjects</i> which exchange <i>messages</i>. Each subject has an <i>internal behavior</i> (capsulation), which is defined as a control flow between different states, which are <i>receive</i> and <i>send message</i> and <i>do something</i>. For practical usage and for syntactical sugaring there are more elements available, but not necessary. </p><p>In 2011 and 2012 S-BPM has been included in <a href="/facts/Gartner%27s_Hype_Cycle/45D3Ec7B">Gartner's Hype Cycle</a>. </p>
