Some questions on BPSS control flow

["Simon Lee" <kylee@cecid.hku.hk>]

Dear All,

I am a new comer to this list. Currently our research center has planned to
develop a graphical editor to generate BPSS. To make the editor simple, we
have defined some basic graphical constructs in defining the control flow of
a Business Process. The constructs include
- Decision (if structure)
- Parallel execution
- Select execution
- Join execution
- Repeat execution (loop structure)
We feel that these are some of the fundamental constructs in defining
business flows/controls. However we've got difficulties in analyzing the
spec (especially on control flows, e.g. transitions and fork/join) and
therefore we can't make the mapping between these constructs and BPSS. Could
anyone point out some resources/references that explain these terms? Do you
have any ideas on how to make mapping between our constructs and BPSS? Your
comment is invaluable to us!

Thanks in advance!
