Leveraging the Power of IDP with the Flexibility of DMN: A Multifunctional API

Abstract

Decision Model and Notation (DMN) models are user-friendly representations of decision logic. While the knowledge in the model could be used for multiple purposes, current DMN tools typically only support a single form of inference. We present DMN-IDPy, a novel Python API that links DMN as a notation to the IDP system, a powerful reasoning tool, allowing the knowledge in DMN models to be used to its fullest potential. The flexibility of this approach allows us to build intelligent tools based on DMN unlike any other execution engine.
