Abstract
Some embodiments of a method and an apparatus to define ruleflows for a rule engine have been presented. In one embodiment, a graphical user interface (GUI) is generated to allow a user to graphically specify an execution order of some rules. Then the rule engine is used to execute the rules according to the execution order. The rules may include one or more rule sets, where each rule set contains one or more rules.
Claims24
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- generating a graphical user interface (GUI) to allow a user to graphically specify an execution order of a plurality of rules;
- and
- executing the plurality of rules using a rule engine according to the execution order.
An apparatus comprising:
- a graphical user interface (GUI) module to generate a GUI to allow a user to graphically specify an execution order of a plurality of rules;
- and
- a rule engine coupled to the GUI module to execute the plurality of rules according to the execution order.
A system comprising:
- a server comprising
- a graphical user interface (GUI) module to generate a GUI to allow a user to graphically specify an execution order of a plurality of rules;
- and
- a rule engine coupled to the GUI module to execute the plurality of rules according to the execution order.
A machine-readable medium that provides instructions that, if executed by a processor, will cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- generating a graphical user interface (GUI) to allow a user to graphically specify an execution order of a plurality of rules;
- and
- executing the plurality of rules using a rule engine according to the execution order.
