Conversations Example
The Conversation concept is introduced in standard BPMN 2.0.
In HOPEX Business Process Analysis, a conversation is implemented by a Service operation.
*A service operation specifies exchanges between participants.
The example of purchase request processing involves several exchanges between the requester and the "Purchasing Assistant".
 
At the highest level, these exchanges can be represented by the same message flow.
A conversation is described by a set of message flows with content.
It is possible to build a service operation diagram to present the exchanges of sequence flows.
The service operation diagram “Purchasing Request” is presented below.
