A reusable, event-based architecture for business rule models

The paper presents a reusable, event-based architecture for business rule models. This paper uses the term Cellular Event-Based Architecture (CEBA) to refer to the structure and attributes internal to the software. The term granularity is used widely in the software architecture literature to refer to the size of objects in a software design. This paper substitutes the word cellular for the phrase fine granularity, both because it hints at the parallels with the spreadsheet cell, and also because it fits very well with the dictionary definition of cellular: relating to small parts or groups making up a whole."" This paper promotes the use of the cell as a design pattern in the implementation of the business rules layer in a high-order language."
