Speaking at the 12th Annual International Business Rules Forum
I will be speaking at this year's International Business Rules Forum (BRF) in Las Vegas. My topic is "Business Rules in the Integration Tier: The System of Record " and is scheduled for Wednesday, November 4th at 2pm. I will be discussing the fact that business rules are more than components of a business application. Rules apply meaning to data. The presentation explores the fact that data may be misinterpreted or incorrectly modified if separated from the rules. This is my third year having the opportunity to share Blue Slate Solutions' extensive rules experience at this key business rules event. Last year Michael Strianese (Director at Blue Slate Solutions) and I had the opportunity to discuss approaches to securing web serices, which are often used to integrate with rules environments. In 2007, Paul Evans (Program Leader at Blue Slate Solutions) and I discussed and demonstrated the synergies available when combining Business Rules Engines (BRE) and Service Oriented Architectures (SOA). That presentation, and demonstration source code, is available for download.
