In process modeling, which notation utilizes rule objects such as "AND," "OR," and "Exclusive OR"?

The correct choice is based on the fact that Event-driven Process Chain (EPC) notation specifically incorporates logical operators like "AND," "OR," and "Exclusive OR" as part of its framework. These rule objects help define the flow of processes, allowing for complex branching and merging of paths based on certain conditions or events within the process.

EPCs are designed to provide a clear visualization of the various paths that can be taken in a business process depending on defined rules. The incorporation of these logical operators is crucial for modeling intricate processes effectively, as they represent decision points where different actions may follow based on the outcomes of specific events or conditions.

In contrast, while BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) also includes decision points, its graphical elements differ and focus more on the entire process flow rather than the specific logical operations like those found in EPC. Flow charts typically illustrate steps but do not emphasize logical operators in the same way. UML (Unified Modeling Language) is more focused on software engineering and system design, lacking the same emphasis on business process mapping that EPC provides.
