An application of rule-based tool in attributive logic for business rules modeling

This paper presents results of the research being conducted in the Department of Applied Computer Science at Faculty of Management, AGH University of Science and Technology and concerning the use of database server for business rules modeling as knowledge based systems in information systems design and development. Our assumption was that most business rules would have complex structure and their interpretation would require new facts to be generated and analyzed, similarly as it happens in expert systems. Another assumption was that the rules would be stored in tables of relational database. Our experience gained so far indicates that the idea of the compilation of possibilities given by SQL language and interface engine based on if-then type rules together with the ability of new facts generation is right. 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
