ruleCore

The ruleCore Engine is an event-driven rule engine that manages and executes reaction rules. The rules are event-condition-action (ECA) style of rules. The ruleCore Engine provides capabilities for detection of complex patterns of events, called situations. Events can be combined with logical and temporal operators in order to describe complex situations. When a situation is detected, the ruleCore Engine can execute an action to alert external applications or users of the situation. The ruleCore Engine is fed with events through connectors. Currently, connector implementations exist for plain sockets, XML-RPC, IBM WebSphere MQ, and TIBCO Rendezvous. Experimental support exists for running the engine within Zope and calling Zope methods when a rule triggers its action.
