Embodiments of the invention provide an RBE that uses a logical
abstraction for a set of application rules that allows the rules to be
implemented, presented and modified efficiently. For one embodiment,
rules logic for implementing a set of application rules is stored. The
rules logic is specified by a processing sequence using one or more
application factors, each of which has one or more application factor
values. A plurality of entries corresponding to each application factor
is separately stored. Each entry contains a data point set having one or
more data points and a result corresponding to the data point set. Each
of the one or more data points of a data point set corresponds to a
distinct factor value.
