Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI)Business Process Modeling NotationWorking Draft (1.0) August 25, 2003Copyright 2003, BPMI.org. All Rights ReservedAbstractThe Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) specification provides a graphicalnotation for expressing business processes in a Business Process Diagram (BPD). Theobjective of BPMN is to support process management by both technical users andbusiness users by providing a notation that is intuitive to business users yet able torepresent complex process semantics. The BPMN specification also provides a mappingbetween the graphics of the notation to underlying the constructs of execution languages,particularly BPEL4WS.Status of this DocumentThis document is the first working draft of the BPMN specification submitted for commentsfrom the public by members of the BPMI initiative on August 25, 2003. It supersedes anyprevious version. It has been produced based on the work of the members of the BPMINotation Working Group. Comments on this document and discussions of this documentshould be sent to BPMN-PublicReview@bpmi.org. This is a draft document and may beupdated, replaced, or made obsolete by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate torefer to this document as other than “work in progress.”

It's Practice with Scientific Notation! Review of Scientific Notation Scientific notation provides a place to hold the zeroes that come after a whole number or before a fraction. The number 100,000,000 for example, takes up a lot of room and takes time to write out, while 10 8 is much more efficient.File Size: 290KBPage Count: 8People also search forscientific notation worksheet answersscientific notation worksheet keyscientific notation worksheet pdf answersscientific notation worksheet with answersscientific notation worksheetscientific notation worksheet with answer key
