Abstract
An automated knowledge dependent transaction management system for processing both the front-end and back-end of a transaction is provided. The system contains hard-coded transaction management module to support the processing of deterministic manual work independent of the specific transactions. According to the invention, the hard-coded module is separated from the business logic that comprise the definition and configuration of the transaction specific data models, business rules and process steps which drive the manual work of human operators. Such separation of code and business logic allows any ordinary business administrator without any computer programming experience to quickly develop the business logic through a simple GUI. Further, any change in the business logic can be implemented quickly using the GUI by the ordinary administrator to accommodate changes in the business environment without relying on computer programmers.
