Our friend Jacob contributed a sample of medical rules to the DMN (Decision Model Notation) standardization effort at OMG. He encouraged me to show how those business rules would look like in our Sparkling Logic SMARTS Decision Management tool.
In this demo, you will see how I created the entire project from scratch, in a business-user-friendly environment, leveraging heavily the use cases he gave me.
RedPenTM is a patent-pending approach to capturing and updating business rules in the context of data. Graffiti on the use cases turn into business rules automagically!
Thanks again Jacob for allowing us to demo your project!

Carole-Ann,
I loved the demo, I see many new contributions from Sparkling. I’m not completely sure I understand what you received for input (form/format) besides the natural language rule statements, but I liked the environment. I did notice complexity in the interface, lots of clicking and selecting. You definitely had to know the Sparkling interface works to work through the rules and decision flow. I can imagine at some point it needs to be deployed to a server of some kind for production deployment and integration with other systems that would bring medical encounters to the engine for processing.

Thanks for the compliment!
In terms of deployment, you are totally right. The demo only shows how to author the business rules; it does not illustrate the deployment piece. With the click of a button you would be able to deploy this project as a web service on the Cloud, ready for mash-up. You can also go the traditional route of deploying into a rules service component that integrates into the fabric of your systems.
