Restricted Chinese-based Business Rules Management System

Business logic is the most dynamic component in today's business applications. Business Rule System captures business logic as rules that can be easily embedded in Web, legacy and traditional back-office applications, and lets users quickly and securely change business rules, redeploying without altering software code. We designed a small Business Rule Management System based on the constrained Chinese natural language. The system comprises a three-level rule language model to facilitate the direct one-for-one encoding of business logic specifications into business rules. The upper level, the Constrained Chinese Business Rule Language, is intended for business analysts. The middle level, the Object-oriented Java-like Business Rule Language, is designed for developers. And the lower level, rule execution language, is used by the rule engine. The task of this paper is to discuss the principles of Business Rule Management concentrated on the life cycle of Business Rules, and based on this, the design and rezilization of our Business Rule Management System is presented.
