I think that Drools fill your needs.. I need to understand more deeply your
requirements to be sure about that.
But if you are asking if you can use Drools in distributed agents that
dynamically modify rules and also you need to create an mechanism to create
and manipulate these agent and rules. You can probably need to do the last
part, this mechanism don't exist. So, probably you will need to focus on
that part.
I think that Drools is for you..

Hi Mauricio,
Does your reply mean that you think that Drools would have to be enhanced
to let me do what I want?
Have you thought much about what would have to be added to Drools to create
the capabilities I want -- and how much effort it would take?
Thanks.
