    guid=&quot;_M0nWsAsYEdyPCr4G1Tb79A&quot;>Decision service&lt;/a> definition should map business decision point and not technical&#xD;
    service like a rule set signature. Decision service&amp;nbsp;definition should not take into account the&amp;nbsp;fact that we&#xD;
    are using a rule engine&amp;nbsp;for the&amp;nbsp;implementation, and should expose reusable interface and&#xD;
    operations&amp;nbsp;that&amp;nbsp;are linked together by a business meaning or semantic.&amp;nbsp;This means a decision service is&#xD;
    part of the business services and not the technical services. &amp;nbsp;&#xD;
