Weniger Bürokratielasten durch regelbasierte Software-Architektur

By analysing the state of affairs in companies and administrative bodies, this book devises the aims and demands of automatising state information requirements. Based on concepts of enterprise application integration and the business rules approach, it defines a software analysis pattern entitled the ‘rules-based mediator’. The author provides a concrete, architectonic explanation of that pattern in order to present the rules-based software architecture of the data processing accelerator (P23R), which enables contact between companies and the authorities to be automatised. Despite its numerous proven advantages, the P23R approach has not been able to become widely popular. The author explains this fact using the diffusion of innovations theory, which analyses experiences of the P23R approach in practice and discusses obstacles to diffusion. On the basis of this analysis, she presents a solution which not only encompasses a generic rules-based software infrastructure, but also lightweight Reporting Services and a possible ecosystem through which they can be realised.
