1. Negotiating Corners, by Mark Myers
...............................................................
Highway 49 runs through the foothills of the Sierra Nevada and offers spectacular scenery, interesting gold rush towns, and challenging corners for riders of all abilities. Learning to negotiate twisty mountain roads is key to riding enjoyment on Highway 49.

3. OMG Reporter: Are System Requirements Business Rules?, by Stan Hendryx ...............................................................
The Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules (SBVR) proposal is in, and the submitters have asked the OMG to vote to adopt it during this month's Atlanta meeting. As SBVR moves through the OMG technology adoption process, the conversation is turning to applications, which has raised the question of what is a business model, and what is the relationship between business models and models of information systems, especially in the context of the OMG's Model Driven Architecture(R) (MDA). In this month's column, Stan Hendryx explores his answer by focusing on a category of model that he finds on the boundary between 'pure' business models and models of information systems.

4. In Process: Business Process Management: An Improved Guidance Creation
Process, by Roger T. Burlton
...............................................................
One way of describing a business process is to say that inputs are processed into outputs of value according to guides using enablers when stakeholders trigger activity. Clearly, knowledge is critical, and it is reflected in the process' guides and enablers' content and their design. In this month's column, Roger Burlton argues strongly for rule independence and the establishment of cross-reference mechanisms and a culture of fast change.
