I think if you need that involve real time executions and a heavy sinchronization you don't need to use jBPM. But if you only need to coordinate/orchestate some executions concurrently jBPM is for you. I recommed you to take a look a the official documentation or to my blog (is in spanish, but you can translate it with translate.google.com) for examples. only one question about your scenario: did you have human tasks involved?
