Knowledge Management and Business Rules:

| Abstract |
| This paper explores how organizations can carry out their normal business activities through the use of business rules within web services and agents. Business rules are an explicit form of knowledge, and by using them to represent policy, an organization can ensure that business policy is followed when it conducts transactions through web services and agents. |
