Questions

JBoss BRMS
What is a rule?

In short, a rule is an premise and conclusionIf it is raining, then the ground must be wet

A rule is made of conditions and actions. When all the conditions are met, a rule may fire.

The conditions are collectively referred to as the LHS (left hand side) and the actions are referred to as the RHS (right hand side, or consequence).

A rule operates on facts (data). In our case, these facts are instances of objects in our application.

JBoss BRMS
What is inferencing?

We want to take all of our data (facts) and combine it with our knowledge (rules) and come up with some conclusions (inferencing)

Inference Engine

The brain of a Production Rule System is an Inference Engine which matches facts against Production Rules.

When matches are found, the rules actions are fired.

Actions most often change the state of the facts, or perform some external action on the application.
