Business Rules Design and Refinement Using the XTT Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses practical development of business rules (BR) systems. The main conceptual foundations of BR are discussed, and selected tools for BR design and implementation are described. An application of a rule-based systems design tool (Mirella Designer) for BR design is proposed. Business rules visual representation using XTT in Mirella Designer is both transparent and compact. The underlying logical formulation of XTT opens up possibility of formal analysis and refinement performed on-line, during the design.

The HeKatE methodology. Hybrid engineering of intelligent systems
This paper describes a new approach, the HeKatE methodology, to the design and development of complex rule-based systems for control and decision support. The main paradigm for rule representation, namely, eXtended Tabular Trees (XTT), ensures high density and transparency of visual knowledge representation. Contrary to traditional, flat rule-based systems, the XTT approach is focused on groups...

This paper presents advances in Set Attributive Logic and its application to develop tabular rule-based systems within the XTT framework. The primary goal is to extend the expressive power of simple attributive languages so that it becomes satisfactory for complex applications, including the business rules support. A formal framework of extended Attributive Logic with Set Values over Finite Dom...

Practical development of the intelligent business applications for the Semantic Web requires advanced methods and tools for knowledge processing and representation. XML-based languages allow for knowledge specification, however they do not support inference which is the core activity. In the paper it is proposed to apply a new knowledge representation for expert systems, the eXtended Tabular Tr...
متن کاملConceptual Modeling of Business Rules and Processes with the XTT Method∗
The paper deals with the problem of modeling business rules (BR) in the business process management (BPM). The paper presents the challenges of BR modeling, and shows some disadvantages of existing, commonly used methods, such as the BPMN. As a solution, an approach based on the XTT/ARD expert system design and implementation method is outlined and discussed. The methods improve the design and ...
متن کاملUML Representation Proposal for XTT Rule Design Method
In the paper practical issues concerning the use of UML as a knowledge representation method for rules are discussed. A proposal of an UML-based representation for the XTT structured representation for rules is presented. Since some deep semantical di erences between UML and rule-based representation exist, several possible UML representations are evaluated. A practical algorithm for building a...
