Best model for a decision tree

Bruno,

you might get more possibilities if you change your perception of an EPC's objects. As I understand "your world", the events that follow a function specify the problem / solution to more detail than the event that preceeds the bespoken function. You start with the event "Unspecified problem", you have a function with associated people e.g. "Specify problem according to our 5 major categories", then you have 5 events that give rise to additional functions that deal with the analysis of the problem of categories 1 to 5, respectively.

The rules, how you come up with one of the five events can be the modeled as EPC as detail to the bespoken function.

Does this make sense?

Take care,

Stefan

P.S. I do not have nor ever worked with the rule designer...

Thanks Stefan for your comment.

I think I can avoid having to use the "is used by" connection by replacing the person or service (organisational unit type) to contact by a function stating "Contact person /service X". In that case the EPC would be OK.

Bruno,

I was wondering, is that what you used at the end?

I'm currently using decision trees based on BPMN. There events are smaller and then each option can be described in the condition expression of a SF after a gateway. The other reasons are the annotations and groups, the first as evaluation, the second - for some kind of grouping when needed. But I'm not completely satisfied and would like to learn about other approaches.
