By Jack Vaughan
Long-time business rules and process management software maker Pegasystems Inc. released its first Java-based platform earlier this month. PegaRules Process Commander V4 supports XML and browser-based development, and JSR-94 and JSR-168 portal plug-in support is also available.
Pegasystems, founded in 1983, began its effort to support Java in the late 1990s. Like others, its developers had to wonder if Java would be fast enough -- compared at least to incumbent C applications -- at executing complex algorithms related to rules calculations. Today, Pegasystems' judgment is that 'Java is ready.'"

ILOG named a business rules market leader by independent research firm
BOURSE: "ILOG named a business rules market leader by independent research firm
On The 'Threshold of Mainstream IT,' Rules Platforms Estimated To Grow Up to 30% Per Year Through 2005
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and PARIS -- February 18, 2004 -- ILOG(R) (NASDAQ: ILOG; Euronext: ILO, ISIN: FR0004042364), a leading provider of enterprise-class software components and services, today announced that GIGA Research, a wholly owned subsidiary of Forrester Research, has recognized ILOG as a rules platform market leader and recommended ILOG as one of two companies customers 'short-list' when looking for a rule management platform. The research also noted that rules platforms, such as ILOG JRules(tm), a key offering in ILOG's Business Rule Management System product line, are on the 'threshold of mainstream IT.'
According to the GIGA Research report, 'Market Overview 2003: Rules Platforms - Standing at the Threshold of Mainstream IT,' ILOG is a traditional market leader whose strengths are its mature inferencing engine, its rich tools for developers and its long experience in the field. GIGA noted that JRules' ample APIs are also very well aligned with the needs of ISVs, which value deep access to the technology, and indicated this is one of the reasons ILOG has been successful in signing up significant new partners in the BPM market.
The research also noted that rules platforms are entering the IT mainstream and the rules platform market is interesting for its high growth potential. GIGA's forecast for rules platforms calls for a compound annual growth rate of between 15 percent and 30 percent during a four year period starting in 2002, and that based on this forecast, product revenues for business rules platforms are likely to be between $145 million and $230 million in 2005.

First all-electronic home loan application process for Absa
First all-electronic home loan application process for Absa: "First all-electronic home loan application process for Absa ...Now AutoVal will generate valuation requests electronically and they will be routed to a central computer system where more than 1000 valuations can be performed per second through the pre-programmed intelligent valuation component built using the CA Aion Business Rules Expert system,” explains Clinton.
“The rule in the system allows for an almost infinite number of permutations of property type, location and many other criteria. It matches the permutations on the valuation request with those in its database and a property valuation is generated. Currently, the property assessment range is between R10 000 and R1.2 million.
“In pilot testing we have achieved a tolerable – 84% to 90% - accuracy, when compared to the traditional human intervention valuation processes,” he says.
AutoVal will allow Absa to save around R100 million per year alone through reducing its reliance on on-site visits for valuation purposes."

These might be relatively simple, such as mandating that phone numbers are entered in a particular format, or much more complex, such as enforcing sales methodologies.

Business Rule Objects
The rules found in the business rule catalog of the common domain model can be represented in the design model as interfaces having stereotype < >. These objects can, for example, verify the contents of a Transfer Object or of a Supporting Object. They can also be used to perform calculations based on the attribute values of a Value Object or Supporting Object. In order to be portable and reusable, a Business Rule Object must not have any side effects, such as manipulating the attribute values of a Value Object or Supporting Object. Furthermore, a Business Rule Object must not invoke methods on remote objects or communicate with external resources such as databases. Guidelines for designing Business Rule Objects are discussed later in this chapter.
