Deontology – Rules determine Morality Behaving ethical means following the rules

Utilitarianism – Action based on consequences

Gordon More’s Law – The complexity of integrated circuits doubles every 2 years which means the
number of transistors doubles

Lawrence Lessig;s “Pathetic Dot” Theory – identifies four forces that constrain our actions: the law,
social norms, the market, and architecture.

Actors - Each lane

Events – Start and finish

Activities are the rectangles

Other – everything else

Branching and merging

Exclusive XOR – Wait for 1 process

Parallel AND Wait for all paths to join

An approache to modelling a process

1. Identify process boundaries – Triggers and outcomes

2. Identify activities and events – Tasks other events

3. Identify resources and handovers – who is responsible for the activities
