Rule-processing is just a style of computation. Of course it is used in BRMS, but it is also used in CEP. CEP systems typically employ rules-based processing to infer higher-order events by matching patterns across many event streams within the event ‘cloud’. BRMS’s use rule processing to match patterns within data tuples representing business-orientated data. CEP systems may support the use of advanced analytics to manage predictive analysis, reasoning under uncertainty and other requirements in relation to the event cloud. Some of the better BRMS’s offer similar analytics in regard to processing business data.
