ABSTRACT
In today's competitive business environment, enterprises businesses are subjected to continuously adapt change to ensure achieving targeted goals. As enterprise businesses are managed by enterprise information systems, adaptation to changes at information system level is important. It raises the need for architectures and mechanisms that support such adaptation at finer granularity. Rule-based information systems using service-oriented computing [1] and aspect-oriented [2] approach promises high adaptability in this domain. In this research we propose an adaptable ECA (Event-Condition-Action) centric architecture and implementation mechanism based on service-oriented computing and aspect-oriented programming for rule-based enterprise information systems ensuring high adaptability.
