摘要：Embodiments relate to determining a process outcome based on a computed probability and altering the path of a process instance based on an expediting rule. An aspect includes executing, by a processing device, a process instance in a process diagram, which includes a plurality of process steps. A condition associated with a first process step is identified. An outcome for the first process step is then determined based on a computed probability. Accordingly, the first process step is bypassed and the process instance is branched to a second process step based on an expediting rule. The expediting rule includes the condition and a branching action according to a selected outcome.

主权项：1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: executing, by a processing device, a process instance in a process diagram, the process diagram comprising a plurality of process steps; identifying a condition associated with a first process step; determining an outcome for the first process step based on a computed probability; and bypassing the first process step and branching the process instance to a second process step based on an expediting rule, the expediting rule comprising the condition and a branching action according to a selected outcome; wherein the expediting rule is characterized by a pre-condition that identifies a single confirmed process state identifier, the reaching of which by the process instance is a condition for a remainder of the expediting rule to be implemented.
