Abstract

Business rules change quite often. These changes cannot be handled efficiently by representing business rules embedded in the source code of the business logic. Efficient handling of rules that govern ones business is one factor for success. That is where business rules engines play an important role. The service-oriented computing paradigm is becoming more and more popular. Services offered by different providers, are composed to new services by using Web service composition languages such as BPEL. Such process-based composition languages lack the ability to use business rules managed by different business rules engines in the composition process. In this paper, we propose an approach on how to use and integrate business rules in a service-oriented way into BPEL.
