  • The need for service-oriented architecture (SOA).
  • How the former depends on component-based development (CBD).
  • Database-centred approaches to business rules (inc. GUIDES).
  • Knowledge-based approaches to business rules.
  • Using patterns to design and develop business rules management systems
