Activity
A BPMN 1.1 Activity represents work that is performed within a Process. An Activity can be modeled as a:
- Sub-Process - a compound Activity that is defined as a flow of other BPMN 1.1 elements or
- Task - an atomic Activity that cannot be broken down into a smaller unit
Activities - both Tasks and Sub-Processes - can also, optionally, act as Looping constructs. The OMG BPMN 1.1 Specification defines two types of Looping construct:
- Standard Loop (while or until)
- Multi-Instance Loop (for each)
