I'm considering Jess for a software project that reasons about large-
ish data sets of small objects. Perhaps people could comment on
whether they think JESS is a suitable engine.
From what I know of CLIPS, the rule based system would be a very good
way to transform the data sets in terms of the scheme of the data and
the processes I'm undertaking. Until I run the software I don't know
the exact amount of data that will be produced (that's half the point
of the exercise!) but I estimate that it'll have of the order of a
hundred thousand (upwards) small facts and a small number of rules.
I'm not carrying out any massively complicated inference and the
combinatorics of the rules themselves aren't explosive. But the size
of the data may be prohibitive?
So my question is, what's the ball-park figure for the amount of data
that JESS can store? Does it cache to disc? My data-set will possibly
fit in memory all at once, but I wouldn't want to rely on that.
Thanks!
Joe
