#ORF09 Extending General Purpose Engines Presentation

This entry is part 20 of 30 in the series October Rules Fest 2009

Edson Tirelli is talking about how we can extend the general purpose rule engines to enable users to solve their problems.

What are you?

  • A solver?
  • An enabler?

How do you enable others to solve their problems? Do more by doing less. For example, adding a level of abstraction to hide the underlying complexity.Tools such as BRMS, BPMS are tools that allow just that.

Drools is designed for extensibility with

  • Function libraries
    • Accumulate functions
  • Evaluators
  • Domain Specific Languages
  • Domain Specific Processes
  • Domain Specific Work Items

Very quick overview of how you can extend Drools to help users solve their problems.
