webMethods and Intelligent Business Operations 10.2 | Designing and Implementing Business Process Models | ARIS Method manual | Modeling BPMN 2.0 | Process | Lanes
 
Lanes
A lane is a subdivision of a process or a pool. Lanes have no semantics in BPMN. BPMN 2.0 uses lanes as a way to categorizes Flow Elements. Most often lanes represent organizational elements, but in principle any categorization may be used for lanes. Lanes may contain nested sub-lanes. A lane set specifies the categorization represented by the lanes.
See: Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), version 2.0.
Like a pool a lane is drawn as a rectangular box, its label is not boxed off.
Nested Lanes
Mapping the attributes and model associations to ARIS:
Class
BPMN attribute name
Implementation in ARIS
LaneSet
inherits from BaseElement
Object type: Lane (OT_BPMN_LANE) Symbol: Lane (ST_BPMN_LANE_1)
 
process: Process
The BPMN process model that contains the lane(s).
 
lanes: Lane [0..*]
Object type: Lane (OT_BPMN_LANE) Symbol: Lane (ST_BPMN_LANE_1) The source objects in the connection type: Lane belongs to (CT_BELONGS_TO_1) lane
 
parentLane: Lane [0..1]
The target object in the connection type: Lane belongs to (CT_BELONGS_TO_1) lane CT: Lane belongs to lane
Lane
inherits from BaseElement
Object type: Lane (OT_BPMN_LANE) Symbol: Lane (ST_BPMN_LANE_1)
 
name: string
Attribute type Name (AT_NAME) of object type Lane (OT_BPMN_LANE)
 
partitionElement: BaseElement [0..1]
Currently not implemented.
 
partitionElementRef: BaseElement [0..1]

childLaneSet: LaneSet [0..1]
The source objects in the connection type: Lane belongs to (CT_BELONGS_TO_1) lane
 
flowElementRefs: FlowElement [0..*]
The source objects in the following belongs to (CT_BELONGS_TO_1) connection types: * Function belongs to lane * Event belongs to lane * Rule belongs to lane * Cluster/data model belongs to lane * Information carrier belongs to lane
