The typical definition of an atomic task or process is one that cannot be decomposed further. This is vague and subject to interpretation. The Decomposition Matrix on this site uses a specific definition: A task (for business process diagrams) or a process (for data flow diagrams) is atomic if every input relates to every output [...]

Recent Business Process Modeling Books

Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) specification provides a graphical notation for expressing business processes in a Business Process Diagram (BPD). The BPMN specification also provides a binding between the notation's graphical elements and the constructs of block-structured process execution languages, including BPML (new window) and BPEL (new window).

On June 29, 2005, the Business Process Management Initiative and the Object Management Group announced the merger of their Business Process Management (BPM) activities. The combined activities will continue BPMI's and OMG's  work and focus on Business Process Management, including:

The June 29 announcement also stated that the OMG will continue integrating and reusing complementary business integration and Web services standards such as WS-BPEL from OASIS, WSDL and XML Schema from W3C.
