---
At IntelliFest this year there are two Drools workshops. There is the "General Drools&jBPM Workshop", which is a series of high level talks explaining the various features of Drools&jBPM. The second is the workshop "Rule Design Patterns in Production Systems", by Dr Wolfgang Laun, which is aimed at rule authoring techniques. The agenda for both is below, you can see the more detailed and up to date agenda here.
Only 7 weeks to go, and there are limited spaces, so register soon here.
General Drools&jBPM Workshop
8.00 AM: Breakfast Social – pre-laptop setup, and QA time with solution Architects.
-Key will be provided to setup your laptop, so you can view and run the examples used during the talks.
9.00 BRMS Product Overview (Prakash Aradhya 15min)
How we turn the Drools and jBPM communtiy parts into a world class product. 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 (Kris Verlaenen 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 (Kris Verlaenen 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)

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. Likewise, crisp constraints such as hard thresholds might not be able to capture the complexity of a business policy. Drools Chance allows to apply gradual and/or probabilistic constraints to uncertain or vague data.
16.40 UberFire – Drools&jBPM Workbench framework (Mark Proctor 30min)
UberFire is a new project that forms the foundation of our 6.0 web tooling. It’s standalone framework that provides a sophisticated workbench framework for the web; where everything is a plugin. Come learn about the Uberfire, and how you can use the workbench to build your own web applications.

Add calendars to knowledge session from Spring?
by dunnlow
I am using the Drools 5.4 integration server in a stateless session. I have
it running fine with the example. Now, I want to use custom Quartz
calendars in my rules. The only way I could come up with to do this in
Spring (a la integration server) was to create a bean that takes a ksession
constructer then creates the calendars and adds them to that ksession.
I see that the bean is created with a knowledge session and all seems ok,
but none of my calendar-based rules ever fire regardless of how the
calendars are configured. (I test the calendars in my bean (with a call to
isTimeIncluded()) and they seem to be in working order.
Also weird is that bean's constructor gets called twice and with two
different knowledge sessions. Once when I start the application, and then
again when I send to the rules service.
1) What is the right was to add custom calendars to a knowledge session (via
Spring)?
2) Any idea why my bean is getting called twice with different knowledge
sessions?
Thanks for any insight. -J
---in knowledge-service.xml
<drools:ksession id="ksession1" type="stateful" kbase="kbase1"
note="node1"/>
<bean id="myCalendar" class="org.test.MyQuartzCalendarLoader">
<constructor-arg ref="ksession1"/>
</bean>
--- MyQuartzCalendarLoader.java
public class MyQuartzCalendarLoader {
private static StatefulKnowledgeSession thisSession=null;
public MyQuartzCalendarLoader (StatefulKnowledgeSession thisKs) {
//gets called twice?
thisSession=thisKs;
print thisSession.tostring() -- looks ok
WeeklyCalendar calendar = new WeeklyCalendar();
org.drools.time.Calendar onlyWeekDays =
QuartzHelper.quartzCalendarAdapter(calendar);
calendar.setDayExcluded(Calendar.WEDNESDAY,false) -- I toggle
just to test
print onlyWeekDays.isTimeIncluded(now.getTime()); --- also
works as expected
Calendars cals =
thisSession.getCalendars().set("ONLYWEEKDAYS",onlyWeekDays);
}
}
--- test.drl
rule "weekdays" dialect "mvel" <-- This rule never fires unless i
remove calendars.
calendars "ONLYWEEKDAYS"
when
$m:Message()
then
$m.text = "FIRED"
end

Reg. Iterating over a list
by Phani Saripalli
Hi.
I tried to identify relevant ways for some container specific operations
like exists, forall (or foreach). Basically I have started using for
software product line research, and specifically model checking over product
line models. The initial results so fat ( considering the time I started)
have been wonderful, alas I am tuck at this point.
For example, consider :
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.ArrayList;
declare Project
a : int
b : int = 5
list : List = new java.util.ArrayList(java.util.Arrays.asList(1 , 2 , 3
, 4 , 5))
end
Now that the element of Project - list is configured, I would like to
perform some operations on it like:
a) for each - for the list (Project - P; P.list), is each element is greater
than 2? (or in essence - evaluating each element using a boolean
expression).
b) Similarly, a function like exists . for the list, is there any element
for which this expression is satisfied -
t > 2 && t < 5, where t is the iterator for the list.
As the elements of the lists are mere numbers (in this case ints), I am not
really aware/clear how I can use the Drools operations collect, for all etc.
Previously I worked with Jess rule engine, and it has in built lambda
functions which nicely provides list iterators and thus evaluating each
element of the list against a boolean expression.
I am at a very important point in my work, and any hint or solution will be
highly appreciated.
Many thanks :)
Phani

2nd CFP Semantic Web Applications and Tools for the Life Sciences (SWAT4LS 2012)
by Adrian Paschke
2nd Call for Papers - Submission Deadline in 3 Weeks
5th International Workshop on Semantic Web Applications and Tools for the Life Sciences (SWAT4LS 2012)
http://www.swat4ls.org/workshops/paris2012
**** NEWS ****
Submission system has been opened - submission deadline in 3 weeks!
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=swat4ls2012
First program structure, keynotes & tutorials announced
http://www.swat4ls.org/workshops/paris2012/scientific-programme/
Overview
Since 2008, SWAT4LS is a workshop that has provided a platform for the
presentation and discussion of the benefits and limits of applying web-based
information systems and semantic technologies in the domains of health care
and life sciences.
SWAT4LS has been in Edinburgh (2008), Amsterdam (2009), Berlin (2010) and
London (2011).
Growing steadily each year as Semantic Web applications have become more
widespread, the program of SWAT4LS has grown to include associated events.
The next edition of SWAT4LS will be held in Paris, on November 30th 2012,
and it will be preceded by two days of tutorials and hackathons.
We are confident that the next edition of SWAT4LS will provide the same open
and stimulating environment that brought together researchers, developers,
and users, from various fields including biomedical informatics, systems
biology, computational biology, drug discovery, bioinformatics and
biocomputing, to discuss goals, current limits and real experiences in the
use of Semantic Web technologies in Life Sciences.
________________________________________
Rationale
The web is a key medium for information publishing, and web-based
information systems play a key role in biomedical information exchange and
integration. At the same time, the variety and complexity of biomedical
information call for the adoption of semantic-based solutions.
The Semantic Web provides a set of technologies and standards that are key
to support semantic markup, ontology development, distributed information
resources and collaborative social environments.
Altogether the adoption of the web-based semantic-enabled technologies in
the Life Sciences has potential impact on the future of publishing,
biological research and medicine. This workshop will provide a venue to
present and discuss benefits and limits of the adoption of these
technologies and tools in biomedical informatics and computational biology.
It will showcase experiences, information resources, tools development and
applications. It will bring together researchers, both developers and users,
from the various fields of Biology, Bioinformatics and Computer Science, to
discuss goals, current limits and some real use cases for Semantic Web
technologies in Life Sciences.

Without salience
by salt
Hi All,
For the below use case i have implemented the rule. Please suggest other way
of doing without salience.
scenario
ITEMS AMOUNT OCCNO
PASS 10 1
FAIL 10 2
PASS 15 3
PASS 25 4
rule "HelloWorld_14"
salience (65522- $list.indexOf( $transdet1 ))
when
$p1:Passes($list : transaction)
$trans1:Transaction(items in ("PASS")) from $list
$p2:Passes()
not(exists($transdet5:Transaction(items in
("FAIL"),value==$transdet1.getVaue(), occno>$trans1.getOccno()) from
$p2.transaction))
then
System.out.println($trans1.getOccno());
end
The above will return
3
4 (not 4,3)
Kindly suggest other way of doing this without salience.
Thanks
Salt

before/after behavior for negative pattern
by Rob21
Hi all,
I try to detect the beginning of a scenario which is characterized by an
event happening after no other event of the same type has happened in the
last 90sec.
I can't understand why only the first of those two rules is working.
rule "Detect Scenario beginning"
when
$start : RawEvent()
not RawEvent(id == $start.id, $start after[0ms, 90s] this)
then
System.out.println($start);
end
rule "Detect Scenario beginning alt"
when
$start : RawEvent()
not RawEvent(id == $start.id, this before[0ms, 90s] $start)
then
System.out.println($start);
end
Moreover if the first sent event is a rawEvent none of them will detect it.
Where am i wrong ? (still a beginner with drools)
PS : I already posted it on the forum, but i forgot to complete all the
subscription steps so it was rejected. Sorry for the double post.

ClassNotFoundException
by devan.vanreenen＠gmail.com
Hi there,
Please confirm if anyone is able to assist.
I have uploaded several pojo model jars to Guvnor, and resolved all issues
when saving and validating the package configuration in Guvnor and no issue
when building packages.
I get a ClassNotFoundException for classes in a specific jar that I have
uploaded but when I download this jar from Guvnor and inspect jar those
classes are present.
As soon as i remove the rules that use objects from this problematic jar
then the rest of the rules work as expected
Do you have any suggestions on where I can start investigating this?
Please let me know if you require any further information.
Thanks and Regards
Devan
