Instructions for Simulation of BPMN 2.0 models with IYOPRO

This instruction shows how to accomplish probability depending simulation experiments with the help of IYOPRO BPMN 2.0 models. There are models for 15 consecutive lessons in the directory "Simulation Lessons" of the IYOPRO on-line repository, that are specified in this documentation. Even though this documentation contains illustrations of the models, it is recommended to open the models with IYOPRO (use the given links to the models) and execute the specific steps for an efficient familiarization. Please note that this instruction requires good BPMN 2.0 knowledge.

The BPMN models in the directory "Simulation Lessons" are in a consecutive order. They begin with the basic principles. Later they go on to configure more complex models that deliver meaningful data. The models and their configuration is explained below.

Approach of this Tutorial

  • We will only explain the new features, which are part of the respective lesson

    • Already explained or introduced features will be taken as given and will not be covered again

  • Each lesson contains a model and a description of the purposes, which we want to achieve.

    • After explaining the lesson’s new features, we will discuss the report that is produced by this model and a certain simulation configuration.
