In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text are shown as follows: "For example, if we select the Business Process simulator filter, we only see information related to performing business process simulations."

A block of code is set as follows:

<assign>
<copy>
<from variable="InsuranceBResponse" />
<to variable="InsuranceSelectionResponse" />
</copy>
</assign>

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

<process ...>
<sequence>
<!-- Wait for the incoming request to start the process -->
<receive ... />
<!-- Invoke a set of related services, one by one --> <invoke ... /> <invoke ... /> <invoke ... />
...
</sequence>
</process>

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "The Create database dialog opens".
