===Rules engines for policy automation===
Various [[business rules engine]]s have been developed for automating policy and business rules used in both government and private industry.  [[ILOG]], [[Oracle Policy Automation]], DTRules, [[Drools]] and others provide support for DSLs aimed to support various problem domains.  DTRules goes so far as to define an interface for the use of multiple DSLs within a rule set.

The purpose of business rules engines is to define a representation of business logic in as human-readable fashion as possible.  This allows both [[subject-matter expert]]s and developers to work with and understand the same representation of the business logic.  Most rules engines provide both an approach to simplifying the control structures for business logic (for example, using declarative rules or [[decision table]]s) coupled with alternatives to programming syntax in favor of DSLs.
