Abstract
July 9
An Introduction to Business Rules Execution
by Lawrence Terrill
A visual walk-through by hand of a simplified rule execution example, to illustrate the relationship of the executional components of a business rule engine. The presentation is generic to any of the rule engine products, but presents the rule definitions in Drools drl using an embedded rule engine. It should give everyone a basic understanding of:
  • what exactly is a business rule
  • what are the components of a business rule engine
  • what is the Agenda and Working Memory, and their relationship during rule execution
  • how does the rule engine order rules for execution
