caption_attribution_description: S-BPM model of a business process
context_page_description: Subject-oriented business process management is a communication based view on actors, which compose a business process orchestration or choreography. The modeling paradigm uses five symbols to model any process and allows direct transformation into executable form.
  Each business process consists of two or more subjects which exchange messages. Each subject has an internal behavior, which is defined as a control flow between different states, which are receive and send message and do something. For practical usage and for syntactical sugaring there are more elements available, but not necessary.
  In 2011 and 2012 S-BPM has been included in Gartner's Hype Cycle.
context_section_description: The basic concepts can be explained with the help of a simple example, the process of doing a quiz. This includes all elements of S-BPM: two subjects (person who asks, person who answers), three messages/objects (question, answer to question, and feedback, if answer is correct or not). This example is very basic, but has been developed for didactical purposes and can be enhanced to more complex behaviors (e.g. there is no answer that would leave the asker in an indefinite state and must be considered in modeling).
