I’m happy to announce the first release of the new community extension FEEL-Scala. FEEL is a part of the DMN specification of the OMG and stands for “Friendly Enough Expression Language”. It provides a simple data model and a syntax designed for a wide audience. The new community extension implements a large feature set of FEEL and replaces the default FEEL engine of the Camunda DMN engine.

The holidays are upon us, time for a lighter kind of blog post: Conways’s game of life on a Raspberry Pi. Conways game of life can be modelled by the following bpmn and dmn: In order to see what is happening the Raspberry Pi was hooked up to a 8×8 LED matrix (can be bought e.g at Adafruit together with the Raspberry Pi 3, breadboard and jumper wires). The LED matrix is driven by a simple program written in Go that receives the information which LED to light or dim through a socket connection from the Camunda engine. The final result can be seen below: Video showing Conway’s game of life in action The process accepts three parameters: rows, cols,…

In my recent blogpost I discussed an example on how to integrate Camunda with modern ECM SaaS providers like Box. As many companies are still using traditional ECM and DMS solutions within this blogpost I will focus on CMIS. The open CMIS standard stands for Content Management Interoperability Services and allows to integrate with a number of different DMS solutions. Most popular DMS solutions come with an API that is based on the CMIS standard as one can see in this list of CMIS implementations. CMIS is an abstraction layer that uses web services and extends SOAP by defining a specific domain model and bindings. Showcase Similar to my previous blogpost I reused the typical Invoice Showcase that is shipped…

Many core workflows in organizations involve some kind of document management. Organizations usually handle document management with the help of DMS or ECM software solutions. The term Enterprise Content Management (ECM) was first introduced in 2000 by the AIIM International. In today’s definition ECM covers (web) content, document, records, workflow and digital asset management as well as search, collaboration, capture and scanning. Furthermore, often document management systems (DMS) are viewed to be a component of ECM. Originally ECM applications were implemented as traditional software applications which were installed on-premise. With the growth of cloud computing and SaaS solutions also the ECM market changed drastically during the last years. Many traditional ECM applications added SaaS technology to their portfolio, but at…

Key performance indicators (KPIs) are the most important metric for analyzing statistical data of business processes: KPIs can not only be used to highlight efficiencies and inefficiencies in business processes, but they can help to subsequently improve specific activities in order to speed up process execution. Choosing the right KPIs and displaying the data in a simple and intuitive way is key for process improvement. One of the most common requirements for KPI monitoring is about time-sensitive business processes. The question that you might ask is ‘How can we monitor which business processes or specific steps were completed in time and which did not?’ Within this blog entry I will outline how one can make use of Camunda’s open architecture…

Since emails are a common form of communication, processes may also interact with them. For example an order process can start when a new order is received via email or an email is sent at the end which contains an invoice. The extension camunda-bpm-mail makes it easy to integrate emails in a process and interact with them.

Citizen Identity Enrolment using BPMN and DMN At a recent ‘Hack Day’, I decided I wanted to explore a combined BPMN and DMN solution using the latest Camunda implementation. For a use case I settled on identity enrolment. Identity enrolment requires a combination of process, interactive user tasks and is rich in decision logic. Hence a perfect use case for the combined offering. At a high level, identity enrolment can be abstracted to the following pattern. An applicant makes a claim over an identity and presents supporting evidence to substantiate their claim. This evidence is then verified and a decision made based on the weight of supporting evidence, whether the applicant’s claim over the identity is accepted or not. In…
