Highlights of ActiveVOS 7 include a BPMN 2.0 canvas for model design with industry-standard BPEL execution of models. This permits model-based execution with no "round-trip" considerations. Also new to ActiveVOS 7 is a services-based forms designer with AJAX capabilities that makes "putting a face" on process applications easy.
