BPCMN - Combining BPMN and CMMN 1

 BPMN vs. CMMN

From the beginning of the development of CMMN there was a

debate whether case modeling should be an extension of BPMN or
whether case management is something different.
Give your opinions:
Should BPMN and CMMN be merged?
How could a combination of BPMN and CMMN look like?
To find an opinion think of the following questions:
What are commonalities of BPMN and CMMN?
How do you represent a sequence flow in CMMN?
What rules are there in CMMN and in BPMN?

 Implicit Control Flow in CMMN

What does it mean?

Visible conditions are better for understanding

 Explicit Control Flow
in BPMN
What does it mean?

 BPCMN: A combined Process and Case Modeling
Language

A combination of
control flow elements of BPMN
and discretionary tasks
and planning elements of CMMN

a suitable language
to deal with any kind of process.
