the schedule.
- Welcome, Matthew Reagan, Centocor, Inc., 9:00 AM
-
- A Business-Rule Based Approach to
System Development, Dr. Paul Dorsey, Dulcian, Inc., 9:30 AM
- Business rules are here to stay. Within the next five years, most new
systems will be built using business rule repositories. Such repositories
make it possible to store 90-95% of all system requirements in a
repository and therefore generate 90-95% of the system from the
repository.
This presentation will describe the results of a project implemented
using a business rule-based systems development approach. The solution
involves describing structural business rules using UML class diagrams and
process-related business rules using a State Transition Engine.
Details with respect to the benefits, challenges and the process
undergone to arrive at the solution, along with the impact on our SDLC
will be described using a case study of a large ($500 million)
multi-national retailer.
