Drools sample

2004-07-06 12:11:20 | Weblog
http://www.drools.org/

I always develop a very simple example, which recommends some products for ganeder and age. I describe drools sample. Apache web application prompts ganeder and age, and executes drools to display the recommendation result. For example, if gender is male and age is greater than 20 and age is less than 29, then recommends products A and products B. I also put this kind of business rules into Excel and Excel macro generates drools syntax. So, what business people need to do is simply meintain Excel spredsheets. Decision table is one of the most powerful tools for business rules and easy for business people to develop, add, remove and manage business rules.
A simple recommendatio sample:

<rules xmlns="http://drools.org/rules">

<semantics module="org.drools.semantics.java"/>

<rule-set name="Recommendation Rules"

<rule name="over 20">
<parameter identifier="recommendation">
<java:class type="recommendation.Recommendation"/>
</parameter>

<>
<condition>
<java:condition>
!(recommendation.getCheckStatus().equals( 1 ))
</java:condition>
</condition>

<condition>
<java:condition>
!(recommendation.getCheckStatus().equals( 2 ))
</java:condition>
</condition>

<condition>
<java:condition>
!(recommendation.getCheckStatus().equals( 3 ))
</java:condition>
</condition>

<>
<condition>
<java:condition>recommendation.getAge() >= 20</java:condition>
</condition>

<>
<consequence>
<java:consequence>
System.err.println( "** over 20" );
recommendation.setSS( "ProductA" );
System.err.println( recommendation.getSS());
recommendation.setCheckStatus(1);
System.err.println( recommendation.getCheckStatus());
modifyObject( recommendation);
</java:consequence>
</consequence>
</rule>

<rule name="between 20 and 30">
<parameter identifier="recommendation">
<java:class type="recommendation.Recommendation"/>
</parameter>

<>
<condition>
<java:condition>
!(recommendation.getCheckStatus().equals( 2 ))
</java:condition>
</condition>

<condition>
<java:condition>
!(recommendation.getCheckStatus().equals( 3 ))
</java:condition>
</condition>

<>
<condition>
<java:condition>recommendation.getAge() >= 20</java:condition>
</condition>
<condition>
<java:condition>recommendation.getAge() <30

RETE, RETE II vs STP

2004-07-04 16:12:40 | Weblog
Tpoics:
What's RETE?
What's RETE II?
STP stands for straight through processing.
Need to clear when RETE is effective or not.

RETE... WRONG

Charles Forgy Ph.D., Chief Scientist and Co-Founder
Forgy brings 27 years of rules experience and is the inventor of the RETE algorithm rules engine. The RETE algorithm is widely recognized as by far the most efficient algorithm and is utilized in almost all implementations of production rules based systems in the industry today. RETE is the only algorithm for production systems whose efficiency is asymptotically independent of the number of rules. Charles Forgy has a PhD from Carnegie Mellon University. Charles Forgy is a protégé of Allen Newell, who was one of the 4 founding fathers of the Artificial Intelligence(AI) field.

One of my research areas is business rules

2004-06-29 12:51:57 | Weblog
First, I'd like to intorduce myself a little. I've worked at several IT areas +10 yrs, and one of my current researches is business rules, especially rule engine. My main purpurse is to expand business rules in Japan as well as Aisan market. My research is not only vendor production but also open source. If you're interested in entering Japanese market, please contact myself.
Last year, I took part in Business Rules Forum 2003 in Nashville (see: http://www.businessrulesforum.com/business_rules_forum.htm). Also this year joined OMG working group meeting and Eclipse Conference in Anaheim (see: http://www.omg.org). This year I'm going to Business Rules Forum 2004 in Las Vegas on Nov 7-11 (see: http://www.businessrulesforum.com/), maybe.
One of my contributions is that I translated "Business RUles Applied by Barbara von Halle" (see: ASIN:0471412937) into Japanese. It took +6 months for +500 pages. However, sorry that this Japanese book is not published yet. Fortunitley, you could find it on some web sites. Also there are chances, I'd like to translate and publish some English books.
The market of business rules in Japan seems still very very small, but I definitely believe in this area would expand rapidly year by year to catch up with us. I think Gartner reported the market prediction a few yrs ago. And not just an element as rule engine, other philosopy and technology must need business rules to establish gigantic, agile, and robust business application or business system.
If I had enough resource as money and people, I would like to produce my own rules engine, but ... Just a dream!!
In Japan, some engineers are making their own rule engine. I don't have any contacts yet. It, however, seems quite interesintg.
