Hi Cameron,
In the context of a couple of European projects, SOA4All [1] and a
previous project called SUPER [2], we worked on an ontology--COBRA
[3]--largely inspired by DOLCE and recently started using Drools
(especially the CEP support added in v5) for monitoring and managing
business processes.
It is not exactly the same thing but I believe it could valuable for
both of us to share a bit more about the internal details of both
approaches.
Should you be interested in any concrete detail feel free to contact me.
Myself I'd be pretty interested in getting to know more about the work
you are carrying out. Do you have any papers I could look at?
Cheers,
Carlos

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.
