A Rule-Driven Business Process Design

Business rules represent the core of an administration and affect either the business processes or the behaviours of the system participants. The rules are expressions that define or constrain business aspects of each administration. They are used to create and validate business structures or to check the process behaviour. Rules are implicitly expressed in any domain and in any type of document or application at information system level. In this work we analyze and propose a framework to support the generation of business process specifications taking advantage of business rules separation.
