BPMN models processes from the business perspective
BPMN has two somehow contradictory objectives
♦ to provide an easy to use process modeling notation,
♦ provide facilities to translate models into an executable form
To meet the requirements of the first goal, BPMN is structured with a
♦ small set of elements (Activities, Events and Gateways) that have
♦ distinct shape (rectangle, circle and diamond).
This small set supports simplicity and readability of models
