NOTIFICATION BY BUSINESS RULE TRIGGER CONTROL

An approach for providing notification services using rules-based technology is disclosed. A business rule manager module maps the business rules to business triggers, in which any pre-defined action can be performed based on the rule execution. Business rule triggers map a set of object life cycle states or business processes to set(s) of business rules; these business rules are mapped to trigger conditions. Notifications are then mapped to the business triggers such that the appropriate information can be sent to the recipients according to the business conditions or business rule actions.
