Supporting and harvesting all the innovation done in the open community, Red Hat delivers reliable, dependable and integrated solutions for enterprise customers. 9.15 Introduction to Drools Expert (Mark Proctor 45min) Drools Expert covers the business rule engine. A gentle, example driven, dive into the Drools technical rule language and engine features. 10.10 Introduction to Drools Fusion (Edson Tirelli 45min) Learn how Drools does CEP differently. Our unified approach extends Drools Expert with a series of language and sub-engine extensions to provide temporal reasoning and event correlation. 11.05 Introduction to jBPM and BPMN2 (Tihomir Surdilovic 45min) jBPM is a BPM engine designed for flexible processes, implementing and extending the BPMN2 spec. Built form the ground up to be part of a unified strategy for business automation and decision management. jBPM fully integrates with Drools Expert and Fusion. 11.45 Decision Modelling with Graphical Editors (Edson Tirelli 30min) Drools Expert provides sophisticated web based tooling, around decision tables, guided editors and templates. Our decision modelling approach draws from the very best research found at Dr Jan Vanthienien school of Decision Modelling. 12.30 Working Lunch – Experience Drools and jBPM – Hands on labs (Optional) (1hour) 13.30 Human Tasks up Close and Personal (Tihomir Surdilovic 40min) Human tasks are a central component of BPM. This example driven talk will build an example live, demonstrating what jBPM’s Human Task technology can do for you. 14.20 Building Games with Drools – Pong, Snake and Wumpus (Mark Proctor 40min) Time for some hard play, learn how to build classic computer games with Drools. These also provide interesting exercises in BA requirements gathering. 15.10 Drools Planner a Quick Overview (Geoffrey De Smet 40min) Whether it’s employee rostering, task scheduling, vehicle routing, bin packing or another planning problem: all organizations try to optimize their limited resources under constraints. Drools Planner optimizes business resources for normal Java programmers. 15.50 Drools Chance for Imperfect Reasoning (Davide Sottara 40min) Sometimes data quality is not perfect, so facts may not be known with precision and certainty.
