MyBPML.org
SOURCE: John Hamilton, Senior Architect, Process Infrastructure, Computer Sciences Corporation \ EXCERPT: So, in my opinion, if and when a public domain standard becomes supported by the open source community, it will be unbeatable...
Of course, you’ve guessed I’m talking about the present state and future prospects for BPML. I like it because it has a formal basis in calculus. I like it because it is complete and in the public domain. I’ll like it even more when it is adopted by the open source community...March 29, 2004
Why BPML?
SOURCE: John Hamilton, Senior Architect, Process Infrastructure, Computer Sciences Corporation \
EXCERPT: If you want to store anything-- data, process diagrams, contacts, you’ve got to take it out and exercise it regularly-- “use it or lose it”. Anything that is not in regular use pretty soon becomes unusable.
The “use it or lose it” rule applies here. Process documentation that can be ignored, will be ignored, by people wishing to get on with their work. What I wanted was some kind of process documentation that actually interacted with the real world. It appeared the other day: a formal language that was complete and sufficiently unambiguous as to be executable. This meets the “use it” criterion. If the documentation not only can be used, but has to be used, then it will become and will remain correct. A closed loop feedback mechanism applies here. If a tool or method is necessary for real work, then it will be maintained in good condition: Carpenters keep their chisels sharp. In real life, most people do not use documentation and do not care if it is wrong. They use tools and get mad as hell if they don’t work.

New Business Process Modeling Standard Continues to Gain Momentum
September 03, 2003
NETWORK EFFECT’ ACCELERATING CHANGES IN BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY
The network effect will spur a shift to Web Services as a dominant application deployment method, as well as a transformation of existing enterprise applications. The focus on Web Services will also see a rise in Web Service security and management to address gaps in the open Web Services architecture. As technology's increasing awareness of business processes continues, it allows businesses to tie third parties into their operations directly over the network. Such networked business structures allow companies to shift tasks such as application and infrastructure management to an outside service provider.August 28, 2003

The Third Wave - Separating the Pretenders from the Contenders
SOURCE: Darwin Magazine \ ABSTRACT: As the momentum gains, so does the confusion. BPM systems are defined in as many ways as there are vendors to ask for definitions. The technologies marketed under the BPM moniker vary greatly in scope and functionality, adding to the market confusion. One major consulting firm's analysis of the space has concluded that there are as many differences between BPM technologies as there are similarities. What is going on?July 01, 2003
BPM and MDA: Competitors, Altenatives or Complementary

BPM 2.0: Building Processes Without Programmers
SOURCE: Transform Magazine \ ABSTRACT: Last year's business process management (BPM) offerings plunged process designers into a thicket of Java code and lacked effective collaboration among process designers with line-of-business knowledge, integration expertise and programming skills. This year's BPM offerings are greatly improved, as vendors give business users hands-on tools to build processes using out-of-the-box software.
