Introduction Business Rules Object-Oriented Method
Figure 1: Interactions between Models, Framework, and Support Tools
The following are the detail objectives of the research.
1. To design models such as metadata models, and business rules Metamodel
for the development of business rules systems. These models assure
separation of business rules from the procedural codes which is the basic
principle of BRA and require us to persist business rules in a repository
system (Section 4.2).
2. To design an architectural framework for developing a business rules
system. The framework allows us to utilize practically proven design
patterns and help developers understand and apply the required elements
in developing a business rules system (Section 4.3).
3. To develop prototype of the integrated support tools required for the
proposed method. These include Metamodel Management Tool, Rules
Management Tool, and Data Management Tool (Section 4.4).
4. To demonstrate the proposed method with a case study and evaluate the
results obtained (Chapter 5).
