The typical definition of an atomic task or process is one that cannot be decomposed further. This is vague and subject to interpretation.

My last posting referenced the criteria for a well-formed business process diagram mentioned in Business Process Driven SOA using BPMN and BPEL by Matjaz B. Juric and Kapil Pant. I am going to expand on their criteria to create a more comprehensive definition of a well-formed business process diagram.
To start, here are three criteria from [...]

I recently received two new books on business process modeling. Both books looked interesting because they had great titles. As it turns out, one book is great and the other not so good.
The not so good book is Business Process Driven SOA using BPMN and BPEL by Matjaz B. Juric and Kapil Pant. There are [...]

Essential XML Quick Reference: A Programmer's Reference to XML, XPath, XSLT, XML Schema, SOAP, and More by Aaron Skonnard, Martin Gudgin Average Customer Review: based on 21 reviews. Customer Review: This is, as the title suggests, and essential reference book for XML. Topics from beginner to advanced are covered. Do note though, don't be fooled by the whimsical cover, this book is *dry*. It's not exactly a read-through type of book unless you're just really stoked about knowing everything it has to offer about XML. I would sugg...
XSLT and XPATH: A Guide to XML Transformations by John Robert Gardner, Zarella L. Rendon Average Customer Review: based on 10 reviews. Customer Review: I've had this book on my shelf since publication. I had to dig it out last week to do some fairly complex XSLT programming. The book was a huge help and helped me get everything done quite quickly. I use this book as a reference book, not a how-to. This book is great for things like "what is the function that does 'x' and what are i...

The great acceptance of the web and its browsers was due in no small part to the ease of...
