We don't have ruleflow, but we do have AgendaGroups which can provide a
form of rule flow, just that its actually stack based. I'm working on a
more general ruleflow idea at the moment, it may make it into the end
of Q1 release, but its not defnite yet.<br>
<br>
Normally you cache the rulebase in a singleton and then just creating
working memory instances as and when you need to - creating a working
memory is light.<br>
<br>
The guided gui builder is for 3.2, it's web only based on GWT, I
believe that it will also do DSLs (Mic will have to confirm that).<br>

<li><font face="Arial" size="2">We require ruleflow (where rules
run sequentially; like "identify all machines X" then "calculate
prices" - not perhaps a good illustration as this could be written as
one rule "calculate all prices using machine XXX"!!!). Ideally
"dynamic" ruleflow is required too - where the next rule in a sequence
is determined by the outcome of a preceding rule (I have seen dynamic
achieved with "trigger" Facts asserted as the RHS of rules however our
"Business Users" cannot be expected to author rules following this
design pattern. I have also seen static implemented with salience). Is
ruleflow (static or dynamic) part of 3.2 - otherwise we'll need to
categorise rules having different types fired throughout a "coded"
process in Java.</font></li>

<li><font face="Arial" size="2">A J2EE runtime to provide
scalability of the RETE engine. We need to have the engine being shared
across sessions on a web-server. What experiences have others had? Do
you simply provide a working memory instance per session (how does this
scale horizontally?). I also read that an Application Server runtime
would be part of 3.2, is this true?</font></li>

<li><font face="Arial" size="2">A rule authoring environment for
end-users. I read on Mark Proctor's blogg that this is in development
but is it set for inclusion in 3.2 and does it handle DSL too;
otherwise we'd have to write out own?</font></li>
