Agile IT Architecture: A Cycle Approach for Business Rule Development

Agile IT Architecture: A Cycle Approach for Business Rule Development: "The Agile Business Rule Development methodology details all the different activities to develop a rule set, from rule discovery to rule set deployment and maintenance. We can group the set of activities into five groups. Those groups will be used to build an iterative approach to the development:
Rule Discovery
Rule Analysis
Rule Authoring
Rule Validation
Rule Deployment

The following diagram represents how the five groups of activities can be executed in a process flow using loops to implement short iterations. The rule set will grow following these cycles to get closer to the outcome expected by the business."

Defining Business Rules ~ What Are They Really? (Abstract and Table of Contents)

"Abstract

Systems analysts have long been able to describe enterprises in terms of the structure of the data those enterprises use and the organization of the functions they perform, but have tended to neglect the constraints under which the enterprise operates. Frequently these are not articulated until it is time to convert them into program code. While rules which are represented by the structure and functions of an enterprise have been documented to a degree, others have not been articulated as well, if at all.

The GUIDE Business Rules Project was organized in November 1993 to carry out that articulation. This paper, the original report of the GUIDE Business Rules Project (now the Business Rules Group), describes a scheme for understanding the nature of business rules and the categories into which they fall. It presents a formal approach for identifying and articulating the rules that define the structure and control the operation of an enterprise.

Business Rules Manifesto

RuleML Homepage

RuleML Homepage: "Rules in (and for) the Web have become a mainstream topic since inference rules were marked up for E-Commerce and were identified as a Design Issue of the Semantic Web, and since transformation rules were put to practice for document generation from a central XML repository (as used here). Moreover, rules have continued to play an important role in AI shells for knowledge-based systems and in Intelligent Agents, today both needing a Web interchange format, and such XML/RDF-standardized rules are now also usable for the declarative specification of Web Services.
