RULE AUTHORING FOR EVENTS IN A GRID ENVIRONMENT

A rules engine can be initialized as part of an object grid, wherein the rules engine is executable code executing using computer resources. The rules engine updates a business mapper. The rules engine receives a business rule definition to form a business rule. The rules engine determines business terms are present in the business rule. The rules engine converts the business terms to technical terms based on the business mapper, responsive to a determination that business terms are present. The rules engine determines that the business rule comprises a temporal rule. The rules engine receives rule criteria, wherein the rule criteria is at least one selected from the group consisting of frequency, delay and timing dependency, responsive to the determination that the business rule is a temporal rule. The rules engine stores the business rule to the rules engine. The rules engine publishes the business rule to a publish-subscribe topic.
