Rule-Based Architecture: Beyond Pure Objects

Ted Steuer, Norrell Information Services

Organizations need to rapidly respond to intense competition and changing government regulations. In serving as a business enabler, software should expose the business to the users that run the business. All too often, the business rules that drive a company are hidden in arcane (to the user) software programs (albeit elegant to the developers!). The problem with taking a pure object-oriented approach is that all changes to business rules become software changes. This implies coding, testing, and release delays. When you separate out the business rules, you provide the capability of putting rules in force very quickly. You also provide the ability to analyze rules to run your business more effectively. Applied properly, a rule-based approach can deliver a more flexible and responsive solution than a purely object-oriented approach.
