Hi, New to Drools. Could not find a specific answer to this, but it may be there in the forum somewhere. I have written a rule set for testing the 'fitness' of 3000 generations of organizms. The rules always test fitness against the last dozen or so generations. So I need to start at generation 13 and then when all rules have run against that generation and referencing the previous 12 I need to increment the 'current' generation so that it points at generation 14. All rules are written relative to that current generation. How do I know when to increment to the next generation as I need to be certain that Drools has fired all the rules for the current generation?

Once I have done that, I have some modification objects to put in working memory that influences the 'fitness' of the generations. These modification objects have up to 5 parameters. I what to be able to vary these 5 parameters and retest. Rather than tweak them and re run the 3000 generations is there a way to use the Planner where different moves can alter the 5 parameters and determine a score to measure whether the modifications are enduring over many generations. In other words the score does not relate to an individual generation but a lasting affect over many generations.

Thx for the answer to the 1st question. The second question should have been more precise. I suppose what I do not 'get' yet is how the Planner interacts with the fact that the generations change. The examples for the solver show it working against a static set of facts, the planner move mechanism is the thing that varies the facts. My need to iterate over a number of generations to be able to see how affective my 'nutrients' are does not sit well with how the planner/solver works on a static set of facts. If I rephrase it might help. In my case the selection of which generation is the current one is controlled by my rules or a fireAllRules() iteration. Then the 'score' in my case can only be determined after several generations have been interated through making each 'current' in turn. I currently have a object that keeps the current 'score' and high score as I iterate through the generations. I want to see how varying the parameters of the 'nutrients' fed to each organism affects the 'health' over several generations. I feel I have one too many dimensions in my problem space here to be able to use the Solver/Planner. But maybe with some tweaking of the objects that describe my problem I take take advantage of it. Sorry to be a bit vague, I might just have to experiment with using it. David -- View this message in context: http://n3.nabble.com/How-do-you-know-when-all-rules-have-finished-tp13476...
