Help COOUG Respond to OMG's Business Rules Working Group
This
one-time meeting is open to anyone interested in working with COOUG to prepare a response
to the OMG's Business Rules Working Group.
A Request For Information (RFI) was issued by the OMG for contributing to a future standard for Business Rules that could be incorporated into the UML.
COOUG wants to respond so that your interests are made known. This is a rare opportunity for you to provide requirements as they affect you and your job. These requirements will be presented to the OMG at the January 27th Working Group meeting in Burlingame California.
The types of people who are asked to contribute include:
- Business owners and managers, business management professionals, management consultants, and system users (individuals and organizations who are potential policy makers or users of business systems that include business rules).
- Developers and system integrators, including analysts, software architects, systems architects, programmers, and system administrators.
- Implementers (tool vendors who will implement business rules using their tools)
- Methodologists and researchers
This is a one-time meeting. No further time commitment is asked:
- In preparation, please read the 11 page Request For Information. It is available in PDF and other forms.
- The meeting will be a facilitated working session lasting one and one half hours. As a group, we will outline our concerns and suggestions and document them during the meeting, with a goal of sending out the COOUG joint response we create either that evening or within a week of the meeting at the latest. (Individuals can still send separate responses up until January 10th, if they wish).
- The agenda for the meeting starts with a survey of the attendees to answer the eight RFI questions in order to categorize our group for the OMG. Your name and company will be listed in the response with your permission, or you can choose to be anonymous.
- After the survey we will quickly review some background about the Working Group, and then proceed to capture requirements from the attendees, ranking them, and getting the most important ones into presentation form.
The Object Management Group, holder of the UML definition, formed the Business Rules Working Group in January 2002. An important aspect of the BRWG organizational concept was to make it an open group and invite the strong participation of people outside the OMG who have background and experience with business rules and business rule modeling.
