Hi Raphael,
There are multiple concerns mixed here, I don't know if this post would benefit
of being cutted in at least 2 :
1- How drools works : read about RETE algorithm (wikipedia is a good start) and
about drools-expert (core module that contains the engine, first chapter of the
doc
Thanks very much for this detailled anbwser.
this helps me much.
I am currently playing with Drools, and trying to build rules in Java from
my own Rule objects, with the help of the lang.api.
Here are some comments in the flow of your anwsers

Hi
I did not get the use case here.
When you write :
The Problem : I have an optimisation engine that can allocate some activities
to some resources, while optimizing some KPIs (Key Performance Indicator).

Hello,
Here is a copy of a question I just sent on Stackoverflow :

I have a quite big resource allocation problem to compute.
I have just discovered Drools and I would like to know if
I don't see any reason why Drools should not be capable of
handling this kind of problem. Some consideration should be
given to the way the rules are written, depending on the number
of constraints matching the properties: the ones reducing the
number of possible matches most should come first in
