		<description><![CDATA[FICO reported 9% growth in revenues year over year.

the bulk of revenues and all the growth was in pre-configured Decision Management applications
FICO score revenues were half as much, w/ B2B growing as B2C (myFICO) waned
tools revenues were less than half again as much and flat

		<title>Pursuing a decision tree down a rat hole</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fair Isaac&#8217;s recent press release touts the &#8220;key differentiator&#8221; of Blaze Advisor 7.0 as:
the innovative Decision  Graph visual metaphor, a decision tree management solution that makes  even the most complex rule sets easier to manage and explain
Of course, a decision tree is really more like a root system (i.e., the tree is upside [...]]]></description>

		<title>Event-centricity driving TIBCO</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The call transcript from TIBCO&#8217;s Dec 21 review of Q4 results is great reading.  Starting from a simple Rete Algorithm and the insightful acquisition of Spotfire, TIBCO has transformed itself from a technical middleware vendor to a promising enterprise platform.
TIBCO has a long way to go in making its business optimization offerings less technical, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Event-centric BPM and goal-driven processing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The slides for my Business Rules Forum presentation on event semantics and focusing on events in order to simplify process definition and to facilitate more robust governance and compliance are at Event-centric BPM.
After the talk I spoke with Jan Verbeek and Gartjan Grijzen of Be Informed and reviewed their software, which is excellent.  They have [...]]]></description>

		<title>RulesFest 2011 keynote</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The slides for my keynote at RuleFest 2011 are here.
Excellent presentations on complex event processing by Paul Vincent of TIBCO and Mauricio Salatano who showed simple, effective integration of events and rules using Drools.  Mauricio&#8217;s was a good demo and Paul&#8217;s slides are worth perusing once they go on-line.  (Some comments from Carlos about Paul&#8217;s, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simple problems with the semantic web</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The standard for defining ontologies these days is OWL and Protege.  Unfortunately, OWL lacks any notion of exceptions in inheritance or any other notion of defeasibility.
So, although you may want to say that birds fly, you&#8217;re ontology will be broken (or become much more complicated) when you realize there are birds that can&#8217;t fly, such [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rules  vs. applications of knowledge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was just asked for some background on business rules and the major players, preferably in the form of videos. The request came in by email, so I didn&#8217;t have the opportunity to immediately ask &#8220;why&#8221;.   Below I give some specific and direct responses, but first a few thoughts about clarifying objectives.
I don&#8217;t know of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tendencies and purpose matter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The basic formal ontology (BFO) offers a simple, elegant process model.   It adds alethic and teleological semantics to the more procedural models, among which I would include NIST&#8217;s process specification language (PSL) along with BPMN.
Although alethic typically refers to necessary vs. possible, it clearly subsumes the probable or expected (albeit excluding deontics0).  For example, consider [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is has always been going to be</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working for a while now on an ontology for representing events (which includes process, of course).  One of the requirements of a system that is to monitor, govern, implement, or reason about processes is that it consider &#8220;situations&#8221;, which are things that happen or occur, including events and states.  (See, for example, the [...]]]></description>
