[rules-users] Sequential rules execution

I found the following thread searching through the Drools mailing list archives and I was wondering if there were any interesting developments to mention about sequential rules execution since it was posted last year. I am achieving sequential execution by preprocessing rules into activation groups and generating transfer rules to move between groups, but I imagine my performance is much worse than it could be. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.drools.user/7128 I'm interested in sequential execution not for performance reasons but for the simplicity it offers some users in writing their rules. A rules engine and the RETE algorithm is too advanced for some users and a sequential engine allows these users to author rules that will run in a well-understood environment and protects them from infinite rule execution, for example. Is there any plan to offer a sequential execution mode in Drools? Does anyone else have a similar interest? Aaron
