UBRS

The current business environment's ever-changing market dynamics, like evolving user needs, faults, intrusions, etc., require constant updates to system behavior and resource availability. These changes, however, should be performed without significantly affecting the application structure, thus allowing the system to effortlessly optimize and tune itself at runtime to handle/manage any issues. Business rules are an effective tool to provide flexibility and control for rapidly deploying changes across business operations. However, most organizations still need help to explicitly define or model business rules, primarily because they lack a global and widely acceptable set of standards. Furthermore, current business rule standards are not flexible and adaptable for defining rules that can apply to any other application except the ones they are designed for. Such problem dependencies in traditional standards make them challenging to evolve and, hence, significantly limit their use. The Unified Business Rule Standard (UBRS) eliminates these dependencies by focusing on the core knowledge of the domain. It effectively means the changes can be carried out to the problem-specific components without affecting the core functionality. In other words, updating the business logic can occur without recompiling the application code.
