A Business rules (BR) and business rules engine (BRE) enables an organization to increase its agility and speed to adapt to business process changes. This article analyzes business rules, business rules engines, and possibilitiesof their applying in resourcesmanagement systems used by enterprises.Ways of implementing business rules are discussed, considering peculiarities of business resources engines. The analysis shows that one of the ways to employ business rules is databasemanagementwith the help of triggers. An analysis of business rules engines is performed, and an extension realizing business rules transformation intoDBMS triggers is suggested.

Resumen Los Sistemas de Gestión de Procesos de Negocio (BPMS) tienen por objetivo facilitar la actividad empresarial, permitiendo el control automatizado de los procesos de las organizaciones. Sin embargo, no es deseable que los modelos de proceso de negocio, generados por estos BPMS, incluyan las reglas de negocio dentro de sí. Esto representa un serio problema para la modularidad y flexibilidad del modelo, pues cuando se requiere modificar una regla que se usa en distintos puntos del modelo, es necesario modificar el modelo en todos los puntos donde se utilice la regla. En este artículo se hace una propuesta para separar las reglas de negocio del modelo de proceso y manejarlas de forma independiente mediante un motor de reglas de negocio. Esto implica guardar las reglas de negocio en un repositorio que controla un motor de reglas de negocio y una técnica para invocar la regla desde el modelo. Con este trabajo se hace un aporte al mejoramiento del diseño de los actuales BPMS que se traduciría en modelos de negocios muy flexibles y modulares. Palabras Claves:Regla de negocio, Motor de Reglas de Negocio, Proceso de Negocio, Modelo de Proceso de Negocio, Suite de Gestión de Procesos de Negocio (BPMS).   Abstract Systems Business Process Management (BPMS) are intended to facilitate business, allowing automated control of the processes of organizations. However, it is not desirable that the business process models generated by these BPMS, business rules included within. This presents a serious problem for modularity and flexibility of the model, because when you want to change a rule that is used in different parts of the model, it would be necessary to change the model at all points where the rule is used. In this paper a proposal to separate business from process model and manage it independently using a business rules engine is done. This involves keeping the business rules in a repository that controls a business rules engine and a technique to invoke the rule from the model. This paper is a contribution to improving the design of existing BPMS that would result in highly flexible business models and modular. Keywords: Business Ruler, Business Process Engine, Business Process, Business Process Model, Business Process Management System (BPMS).

Purpose Changing scattered and dynamic business rules in business workflow systems has become a growing problem that hinders the use and configuration of workflow-based applications. There is a gap in the existing research studies which currently focus on solutions that are application specific, without accounting for the universal logical dependencies between the business rules and, as a result, do not support adaptation of the business rules in real time. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach To tackle the above problems, this paper adopts a bottom-up approach, which puts forward a component model of the business process workflows and then adds business rules which have clear logical semantics. This allows incremental development of the workflows and semantic indexing of the rules which govern them during the initial acquisition. Findings The paper introduces an event-driven model for development of business workflows which is purely logic-based and can be easily implemented using an object-oriented technology, together with a model of the business rules dependencies which supports incremental semantic indexing. It also proposes a two-level inference mechanism as a vehicle for controlling the business process execution and the process of adaptation of the business rules at real time based on propagating the dependencies. Research limitations/implications The framework is strictly logical and completely domain-independent. It allows to account both synchronous and asynchronous triggering events as well as both qualitative and quantitative description of the conditions of the rules. Although our primary interest is to apply the framework to the business processes typical in the construction industry we believe our approach has much wider potential due to its strictly logical formalization and domain independence. In fact it can be used to control any business processes where the execution is governed by rules. Practical implications The framework could be applied to both large business process modelling tasks and small but very dynamic business processes like the typical digital business processes found in online banking or e-Commerce. For example, it can be used for adjusting security policies by adding the capability to adapt automatically the access rights to account for additional resources and new channels of operation which can be very interesting ion both B2C and B2B applications. Social implications The potential scope of the impact of the research reported here is linked to the wide applicability of rule-based systems in business. Our approach makes it possible not only to control the execution of the processes, but also to identify problems in the control policies themselves from the point of view of their logical properties – consistency, redundancies and potential gaps in the logics. In addition to this, our approach not only increases the efficiency, but also provides flexibility for adaptation of the policies in real time and increases the security of the overall control which improves the overall quality of the automation. Originality/value The major achievement reported in this paper is the construction of a universal, strictly logic-based event-driven framework for business process modelling and control, which allows purely logical analysis and adaptation of the business rules governing the business workflows through accounting their dependencies. An added value is the support for object-oriented implementation and the incremental indexing which has been possible thanks to the bottom-up approach adopted in the construction of the framework.

The Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Rules (SBVR) standard was developed by the Object Management Group (OMG) for business purposes. SBVR is used for transformation of business vocabulary and business rules into business processes. Gateways are used for regulating the divergence and convergence of flow objects in the business process. The existing business rules in SVBR do not support all gateways in BPMN, whereas there are conditions where branching situations in business rules occur. This article introduces parallelism rules (OR rules) and complex rules to increase 50.6% usage of the existing AND rules and XOR rules in SBVR. The main contribution of this research is to introduce new formal model of inclusive gateway (OR) and complex gateway that allow parallelism and branching to be modeled using SBVR. Thus, this study increases coverage of the usage gateway in SBVR achieved 66.7%. The authors provide branching cases with various levels of complexity, i.e. nested conditions and non-free choice conditions, using the formal description of SBVR.
