Workshop Description
Rules are becoming increasingly important in business modeling
and requirements engineering, and as a high level programming
paradigm especially in the engineering of e-business applications
and of Semantic Web applications. In each of these the fields
different rule languages and tools are being used.
Rules are used in applications to model and manage some parts
of the application business logic. They are best used in
applications with a dynamic business logic i.e. applications
where changes in the business logic are frequently and they need
to be immediately reflected in the application behavior.
Applications in domains such as insurance (for
example, insurance rating), financial services
(loans, claims routing and management,
fraud detection), government (tax
calculations), telecom customer (care and
billing), e-commerce (personalizing the
user's experience, recommender systems,
auctions), and so on benefit greatly from using rule
engines.
During the last ten years the business rules community has a
large growth. Today we have:
<li>Business rules research groups such as <a
href="http://www.businessrulesgroup.org">www.businessrulesgroup.org
and <a href="http://www.brcommunity.com">www.brcommunity.com</li>
<li>Various rule engines vendors such as <a
href="http://www.ilog.com">ILOG, <a
href="http://www.fairisaac.com">Fair Isaac, <a
href="http://www.oracle.com/appserver/rules.html">Oracle Business
Rules</li>
<li>Open source rule engines such as <a
href="http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossrules/docs">JBoss Rule
Engine</li>
<li>Networks of excellence such as <a href="http://www.rewerse.net">REWERSE.</li>
</ul>
Since a business rule is the same rule no matter in which
language it is formalized, it is also important to support the
interchange of rules between different systems and tools.
<a href="http://www.w3.org">World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
initiated a rule interchange working group, <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/">RIF as well as the EU network
of excellence <a href="http://www.rewerse.net">REWERSE
initiated <a
href="http://oxygen.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/rewerse-i1/?q=R2ML">R2ML.
Topics of Interest
<li>Applications and Use Cases using languages for Enterprise
Rules such as JBoss Rules and Oracle Business Rules (including
Rule-based Auctions, Classification rules, Fuzzy Rules,
Association Rules in Data Mining)</li>
<li>Artificial Intelligence Rules and Rule Systems ( such as
F-Logic and Jess)</li>
<li>Best Practices in Business Rules Applications</li>
<li>Combining rules and ontologies</li>
<li>Implemented tools and systems</li>
<li>Languages for Rule Interchange (such as RIF and R2ML)</li>
<li>Modeling of Business Rules (including Production Rules and
ECA Rules)</li>
<li>Rule base Visualization, Verbalization, Validation,
Verification and Exception Handling.</li>
<li>Rule-based modeling of mechanisms, policies, strategies and
contracts.</li>
<li>Rule Engines Architecture</li>
<li>Rules and Web Services Integration</li>
<li>Transformation rules (such as XSLT, ATL)</li>
<li>Web Rules and Semantic Web Applications</li>
</ul>
