    &lt;span style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold&quot;>A software component that encapsulates&#xD;
    run-time rule processing elements. The component instances provide a &quot;ready to run&quot; business rule application. A&#xD;
    decision service offers a business interface with methods. The implementation of the interface is calling a business&#xD;
    rule engine.&lt;/span>&#xD;

    &lt;span style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold&quot;>A decision service component is mostly&#xD;
    stateless and simplifies the process of integrating business rules with popular application platforms such as JSE, JEE,&#xD;
    and a Web service.&lt;/span> In the context of a BRMS application it is also named rule service.&#xD;
