The last day of RulesFest covered a couple more interesting topics, such as:
- Mark Proctor on “Goal Oriented Programing”: this is interesting because it follows the TIBCO experiences with goals and plans driving complex dynamic business processes using tools like Active Fulfillment. Furthermore, these ideas are finding some concrete specifications in things like the OMG Case Management work (driving cases through case plans).
[See also here]. - Alan Moore on “Deploying Knowledge Based Technologies In Embedded Systems” was one session I unfortunately missed due to a meeting; however it certain is very topical too with agent-based monitoring systems like TIBCO Hawk also being very suitable for the real-time control area (and indeed there was a paper at DEBS this year on a similar topic).
[See also here]. - Andrew Ng covered “Machine Learning” via data – which is a fascinating topic and also one we are seeing in TIBCO with the integration of TIBCO Patterns (aka Netrics) in CEP tools like TIBCO BusinessEvents (and even in system monitoring rule engines like TIBCO Hawk).
