This release is hopefully the last beta before 1.1 and should be used instead of 1.0. It contains mainly a number of small fixes and better documentation. ruleCore is a kind of rule engine designed for detection of complex patterns of events. RuleCore can be configured to detect a number of interesting patterns in the events that enter the engine. The most obvious ones would be sequences of events, events combined with logical operators (and, or, not). A more advanced use would be to say something about time. For example that a sequence of events must occur within five hours or that a deadline event must come before next tuesday after the occurance of another starting event. The engine can also detect that an event is missing. The complex event detection capability is the main focus of ruleCore and thus there is many things missing. Such as delivery of detection events to subscribers and so on. The main use would then be to use ruleCore as an event detection component in a bigger system. The events, we imagine, are sent to the ruleCore engine from a number of busines systems or other applications with the capability to generate events. Events can be sent to ruleCore through plain TCP/IP sockets (very simple string format), XML-RPC, The IBM WebSphere message queue or the Rendezvous message bus from Tibco Inc. ruleCore home page: www.rulecore.com Download from Sourceforge: www.sourceforge.net/projects/rulecore The business people would call this type of systems for "Business Activity Monitoring" BAM or "Business Event Management" BEM solutions.
