it's interesting, though it's not really distributed rule engine.
it's just service oriented application that happens to ship rules in the SOAP payload. Said gave a demo of this for policy rules back in 2004. Before that, said and I did this back in 2000 for mobile applications. the technique itself is quite straight forward. In the case of mobile applications, the phone company has serverside rules, which apply to account types/groups. On the phone side, a user defines their own rules. The two sets of rules work in collaboration. The server owns their rules and the users own the user level rules. the neat part of the paper is that they are using the new features in OO-Ruleml (aka production ruleml) URI feature to indicate a rule is remote. for an SOA environment where a business process is broken into several stages, it makes sense to allow the system to ship rules and reason over data. The demo I created using JESS used JMS instead of HTTP. peter On 5/12/06, Mark Proctor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
