Abstract
In this paper we describe a purely declarative method for introducing modularity into forward- chaining, rule-based languages and its embodiment in the Venus rule language. The method is enforced by the syntax of the language and includes the ability to parameterize the rule groups. Drawing from two of three Venus applications developed to date, we illustrate how this form of modularity contributes directly to the resolution of certain software engineering problems associated with rule languages.
