I've been requested to move the technical "Advanced Engine" session to the last day, so that the user target sessions are consecutive, as people who attend monday's primer probably want to attend the 'Domain Specific Workflow", but not the "Advanced Engine".
So I'm going to swap "Drools 5.0 Domain Specific Workflow" which is on the thursday to the Wednesday and "Drools 5.0 Advanced Engine" will move to the Thursday.
Do other people think that's ok, any objections? That means the talks would now look as follows:
Drools 5.0 Primer : Monday 1st of June 10.00 to 13.00
- The new features in Drools 5.0 will be covered at an end user level. This includes all the drools projects, Guvnor, Flow, Fusion and Expert. This is suitable for anyone with minimal previous Drools experience who just want to know "what's new".
Community Lightening Talks : Monday 1st of June 13.30 to 14.30
- 20 minute community lightening talks about their experiences with drools.
Drools 5.0 Guvnor Internals : Tuesday 10.00 to 12.00
- The internals of Guvnor will be discussed and how all the parts come together and current issues and directions we wish to take the project. This is suitable for anyone with minimal previous Drools experience, but ideally you should be aware of GWT, JCR and Guvnor in general. This is targetted at people who wish to extend Guvnor with new features or re-use/embed existing aspects of Guvnor.
Drools 5.0 Domain Specific Workflow : Wednesday 10.00 to 12.00
- We will show how Drools Flow can be extended for domain specific workflow, with a focus on the pluggable Work Items and Eclipse. We will also cover the pluggable workflow framework for customised execution behaviour, such as is used to provide OSWorkflow compatability. This is suitable for anyone with a java and eclipse background, ideally you should have some understanding of what Drools and especially Drools Flow is.
Drools 5.0 Advanced Engine : Thursday 10.00 to 13.00
- This will be a deep dive for the technical on Rete enhancements. We will cover the asymmetrical Rete implementation, as compared to the traditional symmetrical approach, and how we enhanced it for event processing and workflow. This is targetted at experienced people, who already have an understanding of Rete and wish to understand the latest research and innovations - not for the feint hearted.
