Thanks for the quick response.
Yes, the events will be collected from the CDR(caller details records)
files. We will decode the CDR files and store in a database. So the Rule
Engine should be able to process these events to identify who are the
candidate winners. This winner selection criteria can be defined as a
Rule. (Pls check the examples Rules specified in the mail). Rules need
to fire with a scheduler basis not real time and winners will be
notified at the end of the promotion period.
So I would like to know the feasibility of Drools for this kind of an
application.
Thanks,

I guess you'll base your decision on billing records, possibly in
connection with subscriber data. Billing records might be a bit bulky;
and the class(es) representing them s.b. well structured (bean style).
But I have seen telecommunication provider solutions where the data
(from the subscriber DB) hat to be accessed using property keys, which
would not be so nice for writing rules (with any such system,
probably).
Also, do you need to distribute your goodies in real time (so that a
caller is informed right away - marketing will love that for obvious
reasons) or can you do it after time 'Y'? The former is a little more
intricate, especially distributing on a fractional rate (and not by
"every n-th").

Hi,
I'm planning to use drools to define rules and execute
promotions for telecommunication events such as voice call,
SMS, MMS, etc.. events. So we can expect very large amount of
events per day.
We need to define different business rules to provide
promotions, bonuses to the subscribers. Some of the example
promotions are listed here.
1. During the period of X-Y, every 10th MMS sender gets $ 2.00
worth of free SMS. And the winners will be notified via SMS.
2. During the period of X-Y, random 100 calls to Japan of the
CHAT tariff plan get free movie tickets. And the winners will
be notified via SMS. The same subscriber will not be selected
as winner again and again.
3. During the period of X-Y, any subscribers have usage for
voice call or SMS get bonuses as follows :
$ 10 - 20 : get 20% as bonus of free SMS
$ 20 - 50 : get 50% as bonus of free air time
$ 50 - 70 : get 70% as bonus of free IDD
I'm in the evaluation period of the Drools for the system. If
anybody give recommendations or flexibilities/limitations of
the drools for our application.
Thanks,
Thilina
