> As both Edson Tirelli and Mark Proctor are presenting two great  
> talks at October Rules Fest (http://www.OctoberRulesFest.org) this  
> year, I thought it might be appropriate to let everyone know about  
> the details.  We will have no less than three presentations on CEP  
> (Edson Tirelli, Paul Vincent of Tibco and Luke Voss ) so it should  
> be a really great time for techies of this unique little world of  
> rulebased programmers.  Two of the talks have to do with complex  
> implementations of a rulebased system.  Dr. Forgy has promised to  
> discuss (in addition to his parallel rulebase presentation) his new  
> Tech algorithm that is 10 times faster than Rete 2 or Rete III.  In  
> addition we will have
>
> Dr. Forgy (Rete, Rete 2, Rete III, Tech)
> Gary Riley (CLIPS inventor)

> Mark Proctor (Drools Inventor)
> Dr. Richard Hicks (Validation and Verification guru)

> Remember three things:  (1)  The Early Bird Discount for the October  
> Rules Fest expires at the end of July.  (2) There are a limited  
> number of hotel rooms blocked off so, unless you register early, you  
> won't be guaranteed a hotel room.  (3) There are a limited number of  
> seats this year so unless you register early there is no guarantee  
> that you will be able to register.
>
> Now, the good stuff:  We have been blessed with three things that  
> make for a GOOD conference.  Four things that make for a GREAT  
> conference.  Five things that make for an INSANELY GREAT  
> conference.  Six things that make...  I just don't have the words  
> for the sixth and seventh thing.
