The power of rule-based solutions has been demonstrated over a wide range of domains and a number of industrial-scale solutions and business rules have now proven their usability in complex real world scenarios. But the use of business rules in conjunction with business process management is still a young research field. Business process management (BPM) is a new paradigm for companies to carry out their value-creating activities. Bringing agility and flexibility to business process management is one of the most pressing challenges we are facing today. In this chapter, we make the case for rule-enabled BPM by motivating the need for introducing business rules in BPM and studying the possible advantages of combining business rule management (BRM) and BPM techniques. A discussion of possible uses of business rules (BRs) in business processes (BPs) is made. Furthermore, we also propose a lifecycle for BPM-oriented business rule management, and illustrate this using a business scenario. Hence, the aim of this chapter is to provide readers with insights into issues conceptual BRM applied to BPM in a business context, not from a formal, but from a methodological point of view.

Rule engines, business rule management systems and other rule-based systems used today widely utilize methods, techniques and technologies from the era of expert systems. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case when it comes to explanation facilities. Nowadays, the use of explanation facilities seems more important than ever. Business rule management systems control or constrain the behavior of business processes through business rules and an explanation of the inference process intended for the end user would be more than welcome. An explanation facility framework which was created in order to remedy this situation is presented in this paper. It is written in Java and is supposed to be a generic solution for modern rule-based systems. Besides being free and open-source, it is simple to use and can generate explanations in the form of natural language like sentences. Internationalization is also supported and explanations can be saved as textual, XML or PDF reports.
