Greetings:
I have a friend who filed a patent on the MVM (Multiple Vitrual
Machines) concept that was pioneered by IBM - but at that time
software could not be patented, only copyrighted. And you could not
copyright nor patent a process such as that. Things change so he
patented and copyrighted the process. Not that he could defend it
nor collect royalties on it. And the main question is, "How long can
you afford to legally defend the patent if someone else with really
deep pockets wants it?" Usually, the little guy loses out unless he
has a really good lawyer willing to work for a cut of the final pie.

In theory it is possible to build a distributed RETE rule engine.
The catch is no rule engine today supports that capability. I filed
a patent for it back in 2003/2004. anyone interested in details can
email me directly.

Hi,
is it possible to distribute parts of Jess on multiple machines, e.g.
one peer engine runs on node 1 while the original engine and it's rule
base run on another one or are there other distribution mechanisms?
Best Regards,
Michael
