About Andrea Westerinen

Andrea works in Connected Systems Division (in the Server Tools Business unit of Microsoft) and has spent much of her career working on modeling and policy/rules in the IT space. Now, her thoughts are turning to how to apply these concepts to business. (The URL title of this blog is, after all, "policy-based business"). The goal is to target business analysts and professionals - facilitating the definition of business vocabularies, models and rules in a structured, natural language (starting with English, but not ending there). Other topics of interest include the multitude of issues around regulations and compliance, merging and mediating models via knowledge engineering and semantic web technologies, and rules engine interoperability. This blog will contain a mix of questions, references, observations and random commentary. Note that the views expressed here are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer.
