In a new development for me, I recently learned that one of the criteria for a “RETE-based rules-engine” to actually be classified as “RETE” is that the software must perform both forward and backward chaining. A well respected rules professional just informed me:
If [the rules-engine] is just forward chaining it’s not RETE because the [...]

When I first read The Power of Events: An Introduction to Complex Event Processing in Distributed Enterprise Systems by David Luckham I took away three high level ideas:
Events are important in business.
Events can be processed in a hierarchical way.
Rapide is a modeling tool developed at Stanford that can be used to model complex systems.
These three [...]

Like most of you, I am still in complete shock over Northwest Flight 253 and how our government still cannot connect-the-dots in simple intelligence matters to protect us from harm.

Lately I have been busy with a web-based geo-targeting project. For those of you not familiar with geo-targeting, the deeper you get into geo-targeting, the more you realize how important and interesting it is. Geo-targeting is used for fraud detection, personalization, ad-targeting, content-delivery, and more. In addition, the same basic concept is used [...]

I was on vacation and read where one of the “big guys” of the Event Processing Technical Society (EPTS) was bragging that Gartner mentioned EPTS in the context of CEP.
