How to migrate from Activiti 5.21 to Camunda BPM 7.5

With the Activiti Core Developers having left Alfresco (the company behind Activiti), the future of the Activiti project is quite questionable. More and more Activiti users want to migrate to Camunda. There are actually very good reasons to do so, see Camunda Engine Evolution since Activiti Fork. Camunda is a fork of Activiti. We actually developed big parts of the engine ourselves before we decided to part ways with Alfresco back in 2013. Hence it is relatively easy to migrate.

In healthcare, it is more time-efficient to first collect a set of blood samples taken from patients to deliver them to the laboratory instead of sending a nurse for each separately. In e-commerce and logistics, it is more cost-efficient to consolidate packages to be sent to the same customer instead of handling each separately. In administration, usually related sets of invoices are approved to minimize the time to get familiar with the work. Most process modeling languages…

Recommending CMMN Activities

The Case Management Model and Notation (CMMN) standard deals with unstructured work that is performed in the context of a so-called case. A CMMN model specifies the frame in which a case is handled. It expresses design time considerations, such as hard restrictions when an activity can be performed or not. Aside from that, there are often soft patterns that only emerge at runtime based on case workers’ experience. Detecting such patterns and providing insights to case workers can make dedicated case management with CMMN and Camunda especially useful.
