Abstract
In this chapter we delve into how to model complex business processes with BPMN. The constructs presented here build on top of the knowledge acquired in Chapter 3. In particular, we expand on activities, events, and gateways. We extend activities to model more sophisticated forms of rework and repetition. We also discuss more specific types of events, including message events, temporal events, and cancelation. These can be used to model race conditions between events. Finally, we also learn how to use events to handle business process exceptions.
The sciences do not try to explain, they hardly even try to interpret, they mainly make models.
John von Neumann (1903–1957)
