[rules-users] Solving Conflict Resolution on values ​​of the facts - Help

[Daniel Souza]

Hi..
Can anyone suggest me how can I solve conflict resolution on values ​​of the
facts? It seems so simple but I have no idea in mind. The restriction is we
don't know how many facts will be inserted, it could be one fact, 3 facts or
more.

My problem is: If my application suggested me 1 or * Persons() as best
person, I have a conflict resolution and the rules to solve this conflict
should be evaluate the best properties (values) of the facts.

I don't know how to create rules to work with an amount of facts that I
can't know and after to solve conflict resolution between values.

The sample facts below show what I want to express as conflict resolution.

Supose that I have a POJO

Person():
  atribute name;
  atribute experience;
  atribue age;
  atribute sugestedPerson;

  getters and setters;
end Person

*The declared rule is not explict. I can't express rule as:*
rule "best experience"
  when
    $person : Person ( experience > 200 )
  then
    $person.suggestedPerson = true;
end

or

rule "best experience"
  salience 100
  when
    $person1 : Person ( $exp1 : experience  )
    $person2 : Person ( $exp2 : experience  )
    $person3 : Person ( $exp3 : experience  )
    eval( $exp1 > $exp2 && $exp1 > $exp3) 
  then
    $person1.suggestedPerson = true;
end

My knowledge Base was Built.. and 3 Persons facts was inserted into.. (*The
problem is: - WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PERSONS WILL BE INSERTED IN THE
KNOWLEDGE BASE*)

Person { name = Jhon, experience = 200, age = 35, suggestedPerson = false }
Person { name = Daniel, experience = 251, age = 27, suggestedPerson = false
}
Person { name = Julia, experience = 219, age = 31, suggestedPerson = false }

Now I has 3 Persons and I want to sugest just the Person with the best
experience, or if all persons has the same experience indicate the older
person. What Can I do?

In this Case the sugested person is: /Person { name = Daniel, experience =
251, age = 27, sugestedPerson = *true* }/

If all person facts has the same experience and was inserted:
Person { name = Jhon, experience = 200, age = 35, sugestedPerson = false }
Person { name = Daniel, experience = 200, age = 27, sugestedPerson = false }
Person { name = Julia, experience = 200, age = 31, sugestedPerson = false }

In this Case the sugested person is: /Person { name = Jhon, experience =
200, age = 35, sugestedPerson = *true* }/

*A sample rule will be helpfull*
