Abstract

Rules that define relationships between objects are an important part of the specifications of software systems. However, support for the explicit representation of those rules in modelling languages is still immature and there is little support to assist software engineers in implementing them. The result of this practice is hand-crafted and error-prone applications. In this chapter, we analyse some common patterns used to implement rules and discuss the shortcomings associated with those patterns. We then discuss several options to explicitly represent rules, and how to automate the generation of application code from rules.
