This document discusses techniques for resolving conflicts among business rules. It begins by providing examples of rule conflicts that commonly occur in business situations. It then discusses how traditional and modern business rule management systems represent rules with conflicts. Specifically, it covers the use of decision tables and defeasible logic, an approach that differentiates between strict and defeasible rules. It also discusses how two open-source business rule engines, Drools and OpenRules, have implemented defeasible logic to enable automatic resolution of rule conflicts.
