Thank you all very much for the feedback. It appears as though there is
indeed an active DROOLS R&D community.
I'm looking to collaborate on the development of an intelligent systems
platform targeting appliance computing applications. The proposed
platform will endow physical and virtual appliances with the ability to
"self-manage" based on runtime conditions. Self-managing, or
"autonomic" behaviors supported by the platform will include the ability
to self-configure, self-optimize, self-heal and self-protect. One
objective of the research is to establish an open framework for
knowledge representation and reasoning that will support autonomic
appliance computing. To this end the project will develop and evaluate
a Common Logic (CLIF) translation of the DOLCE upper ontology as the
basis for knowledge representation (we call this representation DOLCE-CL).
Another objective of the research is to evaluate DROOLS as a supporting
technology for such a platform. Specifically, I would like to develop
and evaluate a technique and tool for mapping a DOLCE-CL knowledge-base
into an appropriate representation for DROOLS.
Some questions for the DROOLS research community:
1) Does the mapping tool described above seem reasonable from a DROOLS
perspective?
1) Would the mapping tool be of general interest to the DROOLS research
community?
2) Is anyone aware of similar work underway?
3) Are there groups or individuals out there interested in collaborating
on such an effort?
Best Regards,
Cameron Ross.

Cameron,
It is indeed a low activity list. The idea here is for it not to be
about questions of Drools itself - we have two high volume lists for
this, in the user and dev mailing list:
http://labs.jboss.org/drools/lists.html
This list is for people to announce research initiatives, look for
collaboration on research, research event announcements, published
paper announcement or just general info that would be interesting to
a research. Basically anything that involves helping further the use
of Drools in the world of research.
The use of Drools in the research world is growing, but it's still
quite small. I've setup this page to help try and track papers, so
much still goes on in isolation that we never hear about:
http://www.jboss.org/drools/research-network.html
I have not yet updated it for 2009. In 2008 there where 8 research
papers that I know of, probably many more that we don't. I'm hoping
that 2009 will be atleast the same, hopefully more :)
There where two research papers this year at RuleML that involved Drools.
If you would like to give an outline of your research, I or others
here will see if we can direct you to anyone doing similar or related
research.

Hi Cameron,
We're using Drools for participatory modeling work here in Chiapas.
We use it for gaming and model evaluation (of developing MAS/games).
best wishes,
Andrew

Hello,
I'm evaluating DROOLS as an expert systems shell for an R&D
project. I'm trying to gauge the current R&D activity associated
with DROOLS, but this list seems inactive. Are there many
DROOLS-based R&D projects out there?
Thanks,
Cameron Ross.
