Abstract
A great part of applications is increasingly based on the Internet and the needs for changes in these applications happen in shorter and shorter periods. Companies, governments and people who wait for almost instantaneous implementations of those changes stimulate this scenario of high demand for changes. In the context of these fast changes, the approaches based on business rules are aiming for an implementation of solutions that are more flexible to changes and that are in a language easily understandable to business people in a business perspective. This article presents a proposal of a Business Rule Engine customized for e-Government applications, considering the componentization and/or Web “servicification” of life event applications with access to several legacy back office systems. The proposed Business Rule Engine is in conformance with the Business Semantics of Business Rules (BSBR) meta-model, which is in its final phase of specification by OMG.
