Using Cloud Computing with RETE Algorithms in a Platform as a Service (PaaS) for Business Systems Development

摘要

Given that companies operate in an environment of continuous evolution it requires information systems to have greater adaptation, flexibility, scalability and reliability of incorporation of these changes. Cloud Computing can be regarded as a paradigm and key element of recent computing in business management solutions. A business solution arises in the cloud; this solution includes both the environmental dynamics and the changes needed in the business logic assuring speed of response, efficiency in the solution and maintenance of the application. This article shows a design model of Saas applications based on a platform (PaaS) which has the business logic as central element and is subdivided in "Business Objects", "Business Processes" and "Business Rules." According to the business rules, and in order to resolve the problem based on facts and inferences from the knowledge as an essential part of the construction of the system, expert systems are applied through the use of the RETE algorithms (Forward Chaining).
