Paris JUG : Rule Engines Evening

BRMS : Everything You Wanted to Know but Were Afraid to Ask

Rule Engines, Artificial Intelligence: “I studied it in college, it’s old, it doesn’t work, and besides, no application needs it” - myth or reality?

1. The Geek Minute (engine, inference, RETE, integration, performances)
2. Examples: IBM/Ilog JRules (commercial), Red Hat JBoss Rules/Drools (open source)
3. We can execute a thousand times a thousand rules!

The reports from the evening are here:

• Paris JUG, rule engines evening
• Duchess France, Discovering Rule Engines - Paris JUG November (Part 1)
• Duchess France, BRMS - Existing Products: ILOG and Drools. Paris JUG (Part 2)

" Use the Red Is Dead algorithm: better to execute a thousand times a thousand rules than once a single rule"
