Learning BPMN 2.0


Book Description

Do you ever think of how you learn--reading, watching, doing? Maybe you use all three. Many of us go through life unaware of how we learn or acquire a skill set; we just learn it. We all have the capability to learn. It is from that perspective and with a passion for business process modeling with Business Process Modeling and Notation (BPMN) that Dr. Joshua Fuehrer and Joseph Butchko set out to write a book that will provide an understanding of BPMN while engaging in the adult learning process for acquiring knowledge. Learning BPMN 2.0 is intended to bridge the gap between theory and practice. While the focus is on learning BPMN, this book will also teach foundational concepts for business process improvement, while maintaining a balance between academia and real-world examples. Through research, anecdotal evidence, and a collection of various resources and videos Learning BPMN 2.0 will help you grasp ideas and transform information in innovative ways. In the end you will have a greater understanding on how to apply BPMN in a way that communicates your organizations business and technical process models.

XploRe — Learning Guide


Book Description

It is generally accepted that training in statistics must include some exposure to the mechanics of computational statistics. This learning guide is intended for beginners in computer-aided statistical data analysis. The prerequisites for XploRe - the statistical computing environment - are an introductory course in statistics or mathematics. The reader of this book should be familiar with basic elements of matrix algebra and the use of HTML browsers. This guide is designed to help students to XploRe their data, to learn (via data interaction) about statistical methods and to disseminate their findings via the HTML outlet. The XploRe APSS (Auto Pilot Support System) is a powerful tool for finding the appropriate statistical technique (quantlet) for the data under analysis. Homogeneous quantlets are combined in XploRe into quantlibs. The XploRe language is intuitive and users with prior experience of other sta tistical programs will find it easy to reproduce the examples explained in this guide. The quantlets in this guide are available on the CD-ROM as well as on the Internet. The statistical operations that the student is guided into range from basic one-dimensional data analysis to more complicated tasks such as time series analysis, multivariate graphics construction, microeconometrics, panel data analysis, etc. The guide starts with a simple data analysis of pullover sales data, then in troduces graphics. The graphics are interactive and cover a wide range of dis plays of statistical data.
