RulesFest2010 conference previewed
Posted by Paul Vincent

Time to synchronise diaries for the Fall convention and conference schedule… starting, in date order, with:

RulesFest, 11-14 Oct, San Jose CA

This covers the declarative rule-programming paradigm, as relevant to CEP as it is to conventional data processing, as exemplified by some of the more advanced CEP engines use of rule-based paradigms:

  • Constraint specialist (and OpenRules chief) Jacob Feldman is talking about a CEP domain - “connecting the dots” - what we might call situation awareness. TIBCO watchers will note his keywords in the abstract: “always running”, “inference engine”, “pub sub”, “rules engine”, “finite state machine”, “multiple event channels”, … and “Excel” (!)  - with the latter being Jacob’s favorite “business user interface”.
  • Oracle’s Hal Hildebrand is talking about a Distributed Rules Engine - in this case based on JESS (which may or may not mean Oracle’s version of said stalward Java Expert System Shell - if I recall the original abbreviation correctly). This might compare with TIBCO SPM as “an autonomic system for managing, monitoring and provisioning a large scale distributed system”.
  • Starview’s Mack Mackenzie is talking about edBPM - “rule-based event processing systems and workflow business process management systems” with the comment that “unifying them can enable powerful next-generation use cases like real-time datamining and emergent pattern detection”.
  • “Software Practices and Experiences of Rules in CEP Applications” by some old geezer might also be relevant…

Last year the event was “ORF” - and this year RulesFest again looks good value from $349 for software and system architects and designers, and should provide a more technical flavor compared to the more business-focused BRForum which we will preview next…

    The dates for the Rules Fest event are incorrect.

    It should be 11-14 of October.

    Thanks Eric - updated the post. I must have used a proposed date, and see I conform to the website now :)
    Cheers
