Jess in Action: Java Rule-Based Systems

A
practical handbook for anyone interested in programming rule-based
systems and written by the creator of the popular Java rule engine,
Jess, this book is structured around a series of large, fully developed
practical examples of rule-based programming in Java. After the topic
of rule-based systems is introduced, software developers and architects
are shown the Jess rule programming language in an accessible, tutorial
style. Demonstrated is how to quickly progress from building
freestanding interactive applications to rule-based Web and Enterprise
software. Specific issues covered in this process include designing the
application, embedding Jess in Java applications, and using a rule
engine in the J2EE environment.
