DMN Research Topics

Conceptually a BPMN Decision activity can have a DMN detailed representation, with final DMN result values labeling the BPMN decision outputs. But as a DRG demonstrates, decision making itself can be a complex process, and this can give rise to two views of the same decision space that require complex alignment – the BPMN view of the process and the DMN view of the decision lattice. And DMN is another producer/consumer of artifact details. Are there common patterns? Is there a reliable formal mapping of concepts? Edward Barkmeyer

BPMN can represent cyclic and spiral processes for making decisions, while DMN cannot. So, how should that be modeled? As in (a), there is a requirement for a clear alignment of model concepts and user vocabularies. Edward Barkmeyer
