Abstract
There are a number of techniques and design patterns that help system architects separate application designs into logical layers. Even with the use of these design patterns, a significant amount of business logic is still buried in a compiled codebase making it more difficult to identify and change. This presentation will discuss the role of the Business Rule Engine (BRE) and demonstrate how it can make it easier to manage decision logic across the enterprise.
