Multi Instance Task in BPMN: How does Run-Time Knowledge help? The video explains a workflow pattern called "multiple instances with a priori runtime knowledge" in BPMN. It demonstrates how multiple instances of a task can be created within a process instance based on runtime factors. Tasks run concurrently, and completion synchronization is necessary before triggering subsequent tasks.

This video is part of a series on modeling the workflow patterns with BPMN.
