1. Re: difference beetween swimlane,role and user
koen.aers Mar 29, 2006 4:10 AM (in response to jmix2006)A swimlane *is* a process role... A swimlane gets assigned an actorId which represents a user/group by its assignment handler.

2. Re: difference beetween swimlane,role and user
jbpmndc Mar 29, 2006 9:29 AM (in response to jmix2006)This is just a minor comment about semantics: Why not call it process-role? 'process role' is more intuitive then swimlane. In fact whenever most people describe swimlane, they probable say it's just a process role.

koen.aers Mar 30, 2006 3:18 AM (in response to jmix2006)Swimlane is a concept borrowed from UML activity diagrams. Though I agree on your reflection that a role is maybe more clear, it is pretty well known and common terminology in the BPM space. Witness the fact that also a 'standard' language as BPMN has adopted it.
