Abstract

Business rules are supposed to enable a better process handling and decrease deployment time when changes in process logic occurs. Up until now, to the authors´ knowledge, these arguments were perfectly as logic reasoning but without any quantitative proof. Here we present a short quantitative study from E-Business context on how a defined and implemented business rule as well as business event processing can affect the processing time of a business process. The simulation was made using a rather simple E-commerce scenario and complex event processing with Esper.
