Abstract:

Because of the diversity of business rules languages,the information system based on rules engines is hard to upgrade to next releases or to migrate to different engines.In this paper we adopt a layered architecture and propose an engine-independent rule generator based-on mapping mechanism.We define an English-like syntax rules description model,design XMLbased intermediate rules,establish the mapping relations of transformation between intermediate rules and targeted rules,and implement mutual transformations among engine-special rules.

Key words: engine-independent;automatic generator;intermediate rule;mapping table
