<strong>Camunda</strong> <strong>BPM</strong> Platform 2014<br />
<strong>Camunda</strong> <strong>BPM</strong> Platform - <strong>Loan</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>Process</strong> lab<br />
The lab is built using the <strong>Loan</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong> process as described in Chapter 9 of the textbook<br />
“Fundamentals of Business <strong>Process</strong> Management” (Springer, 2013) authored by M. Dumas,<br />
M. La Rosa, J. Mendling and H.A. Reijers. The complete process description can be<br />
downloaded from http://fundamentals-of-bpm.org/wpcontent/uploads/<strong>Loan</strong><strong>Assessment</strong><strong>Process</strong>Description.zip.<br />
<strong>Camunda</strong> is an open source Java based <strong>BPM</strong> platform used primarily to automate Business<br />
<strong>Process</strong> Model and Notation (<strong>BPM</strong>N) 2.0 processes. It is built around the process engine<br />
component. The software is still in the development stage and some features are currentl<br />
being implemented. There are certain limitations to the use of <strong>BPM</strong>N 2.0 elements in<br />
<strong>Camunda</strong>. Some elements are dependent on specific modelling criteria, failing to satisfy<br />
which doesn’t produce the expected outputs. Keeping these hindrances in mind, the loan<br />
assessment process has been redesigned as and when needed to overcome them.<br />
Constraints observed have been listed with necessary references and inputs from <strong>Camunda</strong><br />
development team. Java and Groovy programming languages have been used to integrate<br />
some tasks into the loan assessment process.<br />
This lab uses <strong>Camunda</strong> <strong>BPM</strong> Platform V7.1.0-Final on Apache Tomcat 7 server. A java<br />
development kit (JDK) version 6.0 or greater must be installed to run the software. Eclipse<br />
IDE is also required for the process designer.<br />
