Edison, NJ, – Knowledge Partners International, LLC and OpenRules, Inc. announced today that they will jointly present a Live Primer of The Decision Model at the RulesFest in October 2010.
“The Decision Model is a great fit for OpenRules and will help many of our clients to represent their business logic in a very compelling, unified and transparent way,“ said Dr. Jacob Feldman, Chief Technology Officer, OpenRules, Inc.
Under the title “OpenRules and The Decision Model” Jacob Feldman and Larry Goldberg, Managing Partner at Knowledge Partners International will conduct a Bootcamp featuring a Live Primer of The Decision Model integrated in OpenRules 5.4.0.
The Decision Model enables businesses to discover, organize and manage the business logic (business rules) behind their important operational and strategic business decisions. The model is entirely independent of technology, but provides a means of shared understanding between the business and technology.
“OpenRules is an important partner for us to introduce The Decision Model to a greater audience, and its implementation in this technology is an excellent example of its utility,“ said Larry Goldberg.
OpenRules® is an Open Source Business Rules Management System (www.openrules.com). It utilizes commonly used tools such as MS Excel, Eclipse IDE and Google Docs. Release 5.4.0 provides a Live Primer for The Decision Model.
The RulesFest™ is the world’s only technical conference devoted to the practical application of reasoning, inferencing, and rules-based technologies. The event takes place October 11-14, 2010 in San Jose, CA.

About The Decision Model
In 2009 Knowledge Partners International introduced The Decision Model, a technology independent model based on the inherent structure of business logic. The model is proposed in a groundbreaking new book The Decision Model: A Business Logic Framework Aligning Business and Technology (Auerbach, 2009). The book is written for both the technical and non-technical reader, providing a detailed theoretical framework as well as a real-life approach to adopting The Decision Model in practice in business rules projects. It also provides commentary on the use of The Decision Model in an Enterprise and Business Architecture, in Service Oriented Architecture, in Business Process Management, in business requirements, and analysis, as well as management practices in general ( www.thedecisionmodel.com).
