"Rule based design" or "event-condition-action" pattern?

[feng]

Hi,

I know this might not be a question for this group but I
would give it a try anyway as I couldn't find a better
group for my question.

I have noticed that there are a lot of articles out side
of Microsoft's world that talk about the Rule-based design
for business rules, or also known as "Event-condition-
action" pattern.

I like this model so much and expect that there are some
discutions, works can be found in .net world as well. But
much to my surprise, I couldn't find anything!

I hope this is just because I don't know how to find it.
Could someone please advise?

Thanks in advance!

This is a pattern evolving in the "long running transaction" space. You may
have more luck if you google on terms like: Biztalk, Workflow, SOA, Message
based transaction processing, etc.
