yes, it is, just use call activities for A and B. There you can even specify if the sub processes should run asynchronously.

be aware of infinite loops….

Is this still valid? Is it possible to call a task in a process instance recursively just by putting the task in a call activity? I am referring to the workflow-pattern 22: http://www.workflowpatterns.com/patterns/control/new/wcp22.php

In several papers, I read that BPMN 2.0 does not have any constructs for realizing recursions?

A clarification would be very helpful.

Thanks and best regards
Ben
