BPM.. Rite.
DJ-lingo: "Beats Per Minute" Some journal: "British Postgraduate Musicology" BSD: "BSD Ports Manipulator"
Here we got it, I guess: "Business Process Management" ?
Sounds cool! What is it?
BPM is the [IMO] overused, general term for a whole host of technologies and systems to automate business processes. In this case, it's a small execution engine and simple services that process 'workflows'.
A workflow, or business process, is a set of activities and tasks that are connected to complete a larger task. For example, processing a loan application may take may people many steps, and a workflow system allows that step sequence to be constructed and executed.
it will be easier to explain when I get the code in there. I'm offline this weekend, but we're working on moving the code to teh Apache license, doing the paperwork, and will be bringing the code here ASAP.
