JBoss BRMS sneak peak, the future is now for your Business ProcessesEric D. Schabell
A Business Process Management System (BPMS) offers you the capabilities to better manage and streamline your business processes. JBoss continues expanding its vision in this area by offering a lightweight process engine for executing business processes, combined with the necessary services and tooling to support business processes in their entire life-cycles.
This allows not only developers but also business users to manage your business processes more efficiently. A lot has happened in the BPM area over the last few years, with the introduction of the BPMN 2.0 standard, the increasing interest in more dynamic and adaptive processes, integration with business rules and event processing, case management, etc. In this session, we will show you how JBoss BRMS leverages the jBPM project to tackle these challenge and give you an overview of its most important BPMS features.
The document provides an overview of the key features and benefits of a Business Rules Management System (BRMS). It discusses what a BRMS is, its main components like Guvnor, assets, rules, processes, and how it can be used with Eclipse. A BRMS provides a centralized repository for business logic, enables separation of logic and data, and allows non-technical users to define rules through a graphical interface.

Here are a few reasons why control facts should generally be avoided in rules:
1. They break the declarative nature of rules. Control facts add procedural logic by controlling rule execution based on fact values rather than just matching patterns.
2. They reduce independence of rules. Rules become dependent on specific control fact values rather than just patterns in working memory. This makes rules harder to reason about, test, and maintain independently.
3. They reduce optimization opportunities. The rule engine has less ability to optimize rule execution when control of execution flows is embedded in facts rather than defined through standard rule attributes like salience, agenda groups, etc.
4. Standard rule attributes like salience or no-loop should generally be used instead of
This presentation begins with a short overview of BPM Suite, and how it was used to meet real life challenges in different vertical markets. We conclude with a preview of what's new in jBPM version 6 and what's on the horizon for JBoss middleware technologies.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

11. JBoss BRMS assets
Every artifact inside a BRMS is an asset
The assets define a knowledge base
Business logic is made by several assets:
facts (domain model)
rules
business processes (workflows)
decision tables
functions
more...
Not only business rules!
12. JBoss BRMS assets: Package
How to start?
define a new package for
business assets
Guvnor Knowledge base
13. JBoss BRMS assets: Model/Facts
A package must contain at least a fact model
fact model != domain model
a fact model typically overlaps a domain model but better to
make it decouple from the domain model
Rules and assets reason upon a fact model
Two ways to do define your fact model:
- upload a JAR file containing Java Classes
- declare a model within Guvnor
14. JBoss BRMS assets: Working Sets
Working sets are groups of facts
Use them to put constraints on a group of facts and restrict the
“reasoning domain” of your business rules
Disabled by default
15. JBoss BRMS assets: Rules
Rules are the “backbone” of a BRMS
Don't use a BRMS if you don't have business rules
Don't use a BRMS if you don't want or you can't separate logic
from data
Rules are processed and evaluated by a Rule Engine
(Drools Expert)
Forward chaining rule engine which implements the RETE
algorithm (ReteOO)
Rich native language to define rules
A rule is contained in a DRL file
More info on Drools Expert:
JBug Italy slideshare site:
http://www.slideshare.net/jbugrome
17. JBoss BRMS assets: Rules
Anatomy of a rule
Example of a rule
rule "Approve if not rejected"
salience -100
agenda-group "approval"
when
not Rejection()
p : Policy(approved == false,policyState:status )
exists Driver(age > 25)
Process(status == policyState)
then
log("APPROVED: due to no objections.");
p.setApproved(true);
end
18. JBoss BRMS assets: Rules
Inside BRMS there 4 ways to create
a rule:
- from scratch,code;
(requires knowledge of Expert)
- using the guided editor
(can be used DSL assertions)
- uploading a decision table
spreadsheet
- creating a decision table
spreadsheet via the guided editor
21. JBoss BRMS assets: Decision Tables
Express rules with a spreadsheet
A spreadsheet can be imported or created via the
guided web editor
A wizard generator for spreadsheet is available in
BRMS!
A decision table at runtime is transformed in a series
of DRL rules
22. JBoss BRMS assets: Test Scenarios
Test scenarios are assets used to validate that the rules inside
the knowledge base (package) works as expected
A scenario is made by a given section (list of facts and its initial
state) and an expect section
What we can “assert” in a expect section?
- Rule
Validate that a certain rule fired.
- Fact value
Validate fact values for a fact created in the Given section.
-Any fact that matches
Validate that there is at least one fact in the knowledge base
with the specified field values.
24. JBoss BRMS assets: CEP
CEP Engine enables
Event Detection: Cloud mode and Stream mode
Temporal Reasoning (correlation) – reason over
aggregation
Abstraction – Compose complex events and reason
over them
CEP Engine Supports
Event Semantics (point in time and interval) as first
class citizen analogous to rule semantics
Support both point in time (as interval with zero
duration) and interval semantics
Ability to apply temporal constraints
Use Session clocks: Support Realtime (system)
clock, Psedo Clock (controlled by application)
Sliding window support
Ability to scale to high volume of events
25. JBoss BRMS assets: CEP
when
Shipment( $pickupTime : scheduledPickupTime )
not ShipmentPickup( this before $pickupTime )
then
// shipment not picked up... Action required.
end
rule “Shipment not picked up in time”
13 Operators are Supported
Event A before Event B Event A coincidces Event B
Event A meets Event B Event A after Event B
Event A overlaps Event B Event A metBy Event B
Event A finishes Event B Event A overlapedBy Event B
Event A includes Event B Event A finishedBy Event B
Event A starts Event B Event A during Event B
Event A finishes Event B
26. JBoss BRMS assets: CEP
Apply 13 operators available
Define sliding time window or length
27. JBoss BRMS other assets
Spring context
editor to define spring context files;once created they are
accessible via HTTP inside the package
DSL functions
Define rules in a domain specific language
Enumeration
Enum data to be used in rules
Functions
Rule templates
29. JBoss BRMS assets: JBPM5
A workflow is a process that describes the order in which a series of
steps need to be executed, using a flow chart.
JBPM5 is based on Drools Flow
Workflow guided by rules
Rule workflows are the new “generation” of business workflows
Rules + workflow: dynamic processes
Available in
BRMS 5.3
30. JBoss BRMS assets: JBPM5
JBPM5 workflow are BPMN2 processes
No legacy xml to define the workflow but a standard!
Human task (human interaction with a flow)
The task service implementation is based on the
WS-HumanTask (WS-HT) specification
Rule Task:
use drools rules inside the flow
Pluggable Service Task (work items):
nodes with custom logic
(e.g. DBControl, EJBControl, EmailControl)
Gateway (split,converge)
the decision in a gateway can be taken by a drools rule!
Events (start,end,intermediate)
Timers
31. JBoss BRMS assets: JBPM5
BPMN2 editor in Eclipse
BPMN2 editor in BRMS (web designer)
BRMS can upload BPMN2 processes designed with other BPMN2
modeling tool
Automatic creation of human task forms
Validation of BPMN2 processes
Online repository to download ready to use service tasks
JBPM Service repository
JBPM 3 to 5 migration tool
https://github.com/droolsjbpm/jbpmmigration
32. JBoss BRMS assets: JBPM5
When defined a new work item
is available inside Eclipse
33. JBoss BRMS assets: JBPM5
Web Designer integrated inside BRMS (starting from BRMS 5.3)
34. JBoss BRMS authoring
Every asset in BRMS is versioned; every time an asset changes
a new version number is attached
Assets anyway can't be
branched or tagged!
An asset contains meta data
information
Assets can be categorized
An asset can be linked to
many categories
Categories don't have any meaning
at runtime; useful to order the assets
An asset can have a status
(e.g “Draft”, “Completed”);
it's a sort of label
35. JBoss BRMS authoring
A package otherwise is versioned on demand, taking a snapshot
for deployment
Creating a snapshot means that the BRMS package is ready to
be used from external application
Before taking a snapshot a build package is required
With a build every assets inside the package is validated
Status and Categories can be used to select only specific
assets to include inside a snapshot (Use selector)
(e.g. create a snaposhot only with assets belonging to category
“Fraud” and with Status “Completed”)
A snapshot will be published inside the repository and accessible
via a URL
38. JBoss BRMS deployment
Stand Alone Package Lightweight Package
Well integrated Flexibility of Container
Best Out of the Box Deploy to lightweight
Experience containers like Tomcat
39. JBoss BRMS Eclipse integration
Eclipse can be configured to import the resources (assets)
published in BRMS
Assets can be edited in Eclipse and committed to BRMS
(complete roundtrip)
Eclipse gives the capability to compare different version of the
same asset
Requires JBoss Developer Studio 4.x or Eclipse 3.6.x + JBoss
Tools
File --> Import --> Guvnor --> Resources from Guvnor
41. JBoss BRMS Rule Agent
How to use a BRMS package inside your
application?
Create a Drools RuleAgent able to get (download) its
KnowledgeBase from BRMS
Define a change-set.xml (simple xml file) file where the BRMS
packages are listed
The KnowledgeBase is the entry point to fire rules, execute bpmn
processes,...
43. JBoss BRMS Rule Agent
What to do with a KnowledgeBase?
start a process and insert some fact instances to be evaluated
inside a process RuleTask
final StatefulKnowledgeSession ksession = kagent.getKnowledgeBase();
//insert fact instances in kb
ksession.insert(new Car("AudiA4",4));
ksession.startProcess("Process1");
ksession.fireAllRules();
ksession.dispose()
