Hello
I am coming back to this post with new a piece of information regarding the
number of rules: this latter may attain 5 * 10^5... This figure confirms the a
"data driven approach".
However, if I represent "business rules" using facts, is there really an added
value in using a brms ? (compared to a hard-coded component).
Thank you in advance for yours answers.
Regards,
Benoît

The answer to whether this is a good approach is, "It depends." :)
Does the 10^4 and 10^5 figure mean there could be that many rules? If so,
definitely do the data driven approach.
If not, will business folk (i.e. non technical) will be writing pricing rules?
If so, do the rules based approach as data driven rules are generally less
understandable by business types. (They're a bit more abstract and influenced
by the structure of your data model. Business people should not have to deal
with either abstraction or the implementation details of a data model.)
There's no reason why you can't do both, though.

Hello,
I am a newbie with business rules systems.
I would like to implement a component that "compute" the price of products.
There can be a great number of potential prices (maybe 10^4 or 10^5).
My first idea was to create template rules, "feeded" by a database. In other
words, the information about prices would be contained in the rules.
Eventually, I decided to create Prices objects, that are also inserted in the
Knowledge session (Prices become facts). The rule engine just "matches" the
appropriate price object with each product (there are other rules then to
compute the final price).
Price
{
_productId ;
_beginDate ;
_endDate ;
....
_price ;
}
Product
{
_id ;
_date ;
...
_
}
Are my explanations clear enough ?
Is this a good approach or is it stupid ? Why ? What are the good practices ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Benoît
