  • Rule processing system with external application integration
    Patent number: 6876889
    Abstract: A rule processing system is implemented that allows for the integration of external applications into a common operational framework. External applications are permitted to define nodes in the rule processing system, and users are permitted construct rules in a rule graph using the defined nodes via a browser interface. Rules may be constructed in a hierarchical format, such that the rules are traversed by a rule engine an executed in a structured manner. Integration between external applications and the rule processing system may be via object oriented software techniques, such as the Component Object Model for object interfacing.
