Description

Main Description

Decision service definition should map business decision point and not technical service like a rule set signature. Decision service definition should not take into account the fact that we are using a rule engine for the implementation, and should expose reusable interface and operations that are linked together by a business meaning or semantic. This means a decision service is part of the business services and not the technical services.
