Modeling business rules with situation/activation diagrams

Abstract

Business rules are statements about business policies and can be formulated according to the event-condition-action (ECA) structure of rules in active database systems. However, modeling business rules at the conceptual level from an external user's perspective requires a different set of concepts than currently provided by active database systems. This paper identifies requirements on the event language and on the semantics of rule execution for modeling business rules and presents a graphical object-oriented language, called situation/activation diagrams, meeting these requirements.
