Practical process patterns: BMI

Block Multiple Instances (BMI) pattern allows several process instances wait for an event (a variation of the CPP pattern from my book).



Pool "locked" is an example how to put itself into a waiting list.

Richard Vigniel (a colleague of mine) has implemented this pattern in Intalio 6.0.1 (executable example is downlodable from http://www.improving-bpm-systems.com/misc/lockservice.zip).
