Event-centricity driving TIBCO
The call transcript from TIBCO’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, [...]
RulesFest 2011 keynote
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’s was a good demo and Paul’s slides are worth perusing once they go on-line. (Some comments from Carlos about [...]
Rules vs. applications of knowledge

The salient similarities are that IBM is adding BPM applications to its middleware stack as is Progress, at least with regard to its enterprise service bus offerings. More interesting is the relationship between Progress’ complex event processing software and Savvion’s BPM. [...]
Ron Ross’ Business Rule Concepts
Ron Ross was kind enough to send me a copy of his recently publishd 3rd edition of his book, Business Rule Concepts. Ron has been at the forefront of mainstreaming business rule capture for decades. Personally, I am most fond of his leadership in establishing the Object Management Group’s Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Rules [...]
Harvesting business rules from the IRS
Does your business have logic that is more or less complicated than filing your taxes? Most business logic is at least as complicated. But most business rule metaphors are not up to expressing tax regulations in a simple manner. Nonetheless, the tax regulations are full of great training material for learning how to analyze and [...]
