Description

The Decision Model is a new Business Logic Framework that impacts not just technology trends but also business management practices.

It brings to the world of business rules a well-defined structure based on the inherent nature of logic, extended with integrity and normalization principles. This is similar to the concept to what the relational model brings to the world of data.
