Hi all, I'm a newbie to rules processing and would like to know if anyone knows of a good resource for learning batch-centric best practices. I'd like to solve problems like these: - Given a few objects of different type but with a commonly named attribute (i.e. Dog, Person, Cat, all having attribute 'age') find the one with the highest value for 'age'. - Given a collection of like-typed objects in working memory, operating on a single attribute (i.e. 'age'), find the most commonly occuring value. - Given a very large group of like-typed objects to operate on, finding the best number of objects to put into working memory per iteration for maximum performance. - Other performance and tuning tips..... Thanks much for any assistance! I love to read, so please do recommend any that concentrate on the practical rather than the academic aspect of working through such issues....
