what is business rules engine
The term Business Process Management (or BPM) refers to activities performed by businesses to optimize and adapt their processes. The activities which constitute business process management can be grouped into three categories: design, execution and monitoring.
Process design
This covers either the design or capture of existing processes. In addition the processes may be replicated in order to test them. The software support for these activities consists of graphical editors to document the processes and repositories to store the process models.
Evolution of business processes requires a change to the process design to flow on into the live system. Integrating business process is also a current research area. Integration of software for process design to be used both for creating graphical representations of workflows and implementing and maintaining these workflows makes evolution of business processes less stressful, given that requirements are not as static as information systems.
Process execution
The traditional way to achieve the automatic execution of processes is that an application is developed or purchased which executes the steps required. However, in practice, these applications only execute a portion of the overall process. Due to the complexity that this approach engenders, changing a process is costly and an overview of the processes and their state is difficult to obtain.
Business rules are a growing area of importance in BPMS as these rules provide governing behavior to the BPMS, and a business rule engine can be used to drive process execution and resolution.
