What is Dynamic Rule Compilation

Chapter 14
Handbook of Research on Emerging Rule-Based Languages and Technologies: Open Solutions and Approaches
Applications reference artefacts that represent rules through interfaces. The integration between application code and interfaces happens at system build time, while the instantiation of these interfaces is done with artefacts that are generated at runtime. Dynamic compilation introduces loose coupling between applications and rules by providing stable interfaces through which applications communicate with artefacts representing rules.

Abstract
Rules that define relationships between objects are an important part of the specifications of software systems. However, support for the explicit representation of those rules in modelling languages is still immature and there is little support to assist software engineers in implementing them. The result of this practice is hand-crafted and error-prone applications. In this chapter, we analyse some common patterns used to implement rules and discuss the shortcomings associated with those patterns. We then discuss several options to explicitly represent rules, and how to automate the generation of application code from rules.
