Rule Interchange Format is now a W3C Standard
W3C announces the publication of a new standard for building rule systems on the Web: Rule Interchange Format (RIF).
The goal of RIF is to facilitate the interoperation and interchange between various rule languages and rule engines. RIF defines a common XML serialization language for several declarative rule languages (like OMG SBVR, OMG PRR, SWRL, a subfamily of RuleML, etc)
SinelaboreRT - Generate efficient source code from UML state diagrams!
State machines are without any doubt a very good choice for designing and implementing the behavior of reactive systems. Whether you've used statecharts to model a device, a subsystem, or a module, you might ask yourself why you don't just generate code from that model.
(Re)discovering the business rules manifesto
I recently (re)discovered the Business Rules Manifesto that states the importance of business rules and how they should be defined/processed.
Some of my favourite articles in the manifesto:
- Rules are a first-class citizen of the requirements world.
- Rules must be explicit. No rule is ever assumed about any concept or fact.
- Rules should be expressed declaratively in natural-language sentences for the business audience.
