A common interface for multi-rule-engine distributed systems

TL;DR

This paper proposes a unified interface for managing and integrating multiple rule engines in distributed systems, simplifying interoperability through discovery, rule exchange, and user interface protocols.

Contribution

It introduces a common interface framework that enhances interoperability and simplifies management of diverse rule engines in distributed environments.

Findings

Improved integration of rule engines in distributed systems

Enhanced interoperability through a unified interface

Simplified management of complex rule-driven environments

Abstract

The rule technological landscape is becoming ever more complex, with an extended number of specifications and products. It is therefore becoming increasingly difficult to integrate rule-driven components and manage interoperability in multi-rule engine environments. The described work presents the possibility to provide a common interface for rule-driven components in a distributed system. The authors' approach leverages on a set of discovery protocol, rule interchange and user interface to alleviate the environment's complexity.
