Multiple Instances

4. Exclusive Choice

12. MI without Synchronization

5. Simple Merge

13. MI with a pri. Design Time Knl

Advanced Synchronization

14. MI with a pri. Runtime Knl.

6. Multiple Choice

15. MI without a pri. Runtime Knl.

7. Str Synchronizing Merge

27. Complete MI Activity

8. Multiple Merge

34. Static Partial Join for MI

Example: Chronic kidney disease progression

December 10, 2008

Most workflow products do not support multiple start point.
In guideline community it is called multiple entry points into the guideline.
This is not so far possible directly. You have to consolidate all start points into one and then put arrows (which has impact on clinician-friendliness of the flowchart).

XSD schema for standardizing workflow logs

December 1, 2008

This is very interesting standardizing effort.

The schema is used by ProM tool.

See a preview here:

Or a full schema documentation here: http://workflow.minfor.net/ebox/doc_mxml_mining_schema0811.xsd/mining_schema.html

ProM workflow mining tool

is an interesting tool
