Abstract:

This technical report discusses an application example of integrated process and decision modelling guidelines aimed at consistently integrating process and decision model. The process models are depicted by the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), while the decision model is represented using the newly introduced Decision Model and Notation (DMN) standard of the Object Management Group (OMG). The example in this report revolves around an integration of a blank loan approval process with its underlying bank loan decision model. The process model is iteratively adopted to conform to the proposed Five Principles for integrated Process and Decision Modelling (5PDM), thus rendering the process consistent with the underlying decision model.
