There needs to be support added for creating models using the decision modeling notation (DMN). Businesses need to be able to represent the knowledge using a model and DMN is a standard way of representing the information.
Also to be able to import and export models that have been created using DMN. There are tools that companies use to create DMN models and represent the business domain and logic. This tool needs to be able to import those models and provide execution runtime for the same.
A lot of firms will have their own pseudo-rule engines that are tailored to the application, but adopting open source frameworks like Drools IBM Operational Decision Manager includes an English-like rule language, an IDE for defining vocabulary and rules, an easy interface for creating rule applications from scratch and deploying them, as well as tools for testing them locally, through API, and via simulations.
