ebBP 11/21/2005: Transitions, Forks, etc.

[Monica J Martin <Monica.Martin@Sun.COM>]

In last week's call, we discussed Stephen's examples and the 
understanding of user communities about fork, join and transitions. I 
asked that the team look over the relevant technical specification 
sections (particularly Stephen and our community members, like 
Cristiano) to see if we need further descriptive language (editorial 
only). 

Relevant sections:

   1. 3.4.10.1: Business collaboration introduction including use of
      condition expressions.
   2. 3.4.11.1: More detailed discussion of condition expressions
      including states and pseudo states. This section includes a matrix
      that explains usage, and in two subsections details use of
      semantic variables (3.4.11.1) and gives an example (3.4.11.2).

In reading these sections as well as other supporting information 
(Section 3.6.3), the only suggestions I might have are:

   1. Another example to further show how pre- or post-condition, or
      beginsWhen or endsWhen works
   2. Another more detailed example on semantic variables

Questions:

   1. What comments do other TC members have?
   2. Dale/Sacha/et al, can we create a snippet to assist with 2. above?

Please be prepared to discuss on Tuesday 22 November 2005. Thanks.
