Complex Event Processing and Rules (Paul Vincent):
Business Rules are conditional business directives: they may be business policies that constraint the business, or production rules that determine business behavior in well-defined processes. In the latter case, business rule processing fits into business process management and service oriented architectures. However, the information flow in an organization is driven by business events, and processing these events can also be done by a more event-driven architecture. This session looks at some of the concepts of event processing and complex events, why they relate closely to business rules, and where they are used in industries like financial services, logistics and transport.

The COOUG Business Rules SIG was created in May 2005 as a Special Interest Group (SIG) of the CT. Object Oriented Users Group (COOUG). The target members of the SIG are a mixture of business and IT since a business rules approach applies to both. Topics will vary to accommodate the target members, for beginners, for techies, for business, user stories, case studies, etc.
