I believe we can inject in Refraction capabilities into Drools Rule Engine
using a simple Agenda Filter. I have tested this with test cases against
JRules and Drools and get similar results. Without the Refraction Agenda
Filter it loops infinitely as expected.
Please try it out and tell me what you think. I believe refraction is a much
needed feature of a forward chaining rule engine for commercial purposes.
Any feedback is deeply appreciated.
Here is what the code looks like
---------Agenda Filter---------------------------
package test;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import org.drools.runtime.rule.Activation;
import org.drools.runtime.rule.AgendaFilter;
/**
* This custom agenda filter injects refraction behavior into the rule engine
* @author Mukundan Agaram
*
*/
public class RefractionAgendaFilter implements AgendaFilter {
private List encounteredActivations = new ArrayList();
@Override
public boolean accept(Activation act)
{
//Check for a Refraction
if (encounteredActivations.contains(act))
{
//Remove from encountered activations for future firing
encounteredActivations.remove(act);
//return false so the rule is not selected as part of the refraction
return false;
}
//Otherwise add the rule to check for potential refractions in the future
encounteredActivations.add(act);
//select the rule to be part of the agenda
return true;
}
}

Unfortunately, I'm afraid your proposal doesn't scale as well as impacting
performance and
expected behavior negatively

Thanks for pointing me to the post Davide.
From a performance perspective I agree there are concerns. I have
provided
some numbers of what I saw
for situations firing several rules over several tuples at the end of this
post -
However, I ran some self loop and complex loop scenarios through this
approach and they seemed to hold. Can you elaborate on why this does not
solve the refraction scenario?
The way I understand refraction is -
This term comes from the neurobiological observation of a refractory
period for a neuron, which means that the neuron is not able to fire
immediately without first going through a relaxation process. In a
similar way, OPS5 will not allow the same instantiation in the conflict
set from firing twice in a row. This prevents the inference engine from
entering into an infinite loop.
I was reading through apost from Mark Proctor on this when I had the idea
of investigating this approach.

The AgendaFilter you propose is bound to cause problems if rules
are intended to fire repeatedly. I have a demo consisting of a single rule,
to be fired many times with varying data; certain patterns are bound
to occur again. Adding the proposed agenda filter produces an
incorrect result.
Also note the statistics:
3906 activations were encountered (Set.count() at the end)
3593 activations remain in the List at the end of the run
313 activations were skipped due to the filter.
The number of remaining activations is an strong indication
that this approach may result in a memory leak.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid your proposal doesn't scale as well
as impacting
performance and
expected behaviour negatively
W3C RIF have tried to document refraction and repeatability.
http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wiki/PRD_Refraction_Repeatability
Under that definition drools already has refraction, what we don't have is
repeatability control.
What you've done is more like hard coding repeatability=false. Also as davide
mentions, it's not an efficient implementation.
As Drools implements a modify-in-place we know whether an activation was created or
modified when it reaches the RTN. It can be cheaply filtered (ignored) there, we just need
to add an attribute to be able to control this behaviour per rule.
One reason why I haven't done this, is I believe the concept can be extended further
to give more control. There is a concept of rising and falling edges. I prefer the idea of
allowing or disallowing activations based on these edges.
was true, still true
was false, is true
was true, is false
We also more recently added property reactive, which provides powerful control for
choosing what you do or do not react.
I have always found the definition of refraction hard. My understanding of the OPS5
definition was similar to your interpretation, which is a hard coding of
repetability=false. I believe some of the confusion comes from the fact that OPS5 was list
based, it didn't have objects and slots.

Thanks for the clarifications Mark and Wolfgang. I wanted to share some
additional data.
I was trying to reproduce the same behavior that ILOG JRules exhibits by
default for refraction.
My experiment with no-loop and lock-on-active did not work when I compared
against my baseline results with JRules. However, the interesting part was
when I ratified the agenda filter as follows (wrong and hacky as it is) -
removed the encounteredActivations.remove(act) before returning false, it
matched the ILOG baselines exactly. I ran through 46 test cases as part of
my baseline, all of which have several looping opportunities single and
complex. My earlier agenda filter implementation that I posted earlier did
not yield identical results with the JRules baseline.
It seems this logic for refraction seems to mimic JRules refraction
behavior. From commercial use case perspective refraction/repeatability
control is important. ILOG implements refraction out of the box as part of
conflict resolution. However they offer up a antecedent directive called
refresh (in lieu of update) that overrides refraction...

You can improve your example by using an agenda listener to remove Activations once they
are cancelled, this way you avoid a memory leak.
Further you can use annotations, to control this per rule.
rule xxx @repeatable(true) when
then end
then in your filter you can check rule.getMetaData( "repeatable" )
We aren't going to add this to Drools right now, but it certainly is a useful example
for people.
We'll be reviewing execution control during the 6.x series, and we'll look at it
then. I believe that you can have different types of repeability, and I'd like to look
at rising falling edges. It's important that you don't add features one at a time,
as one might make another impossible. So these things must be look at, as a whole, and
planned out.

Thanks for the feedback and the tip on the memory leak. I am using 5.4
distribution for my POC.
I agree with your comments. These features need to be thought thru
holistically and not piece meal.
My understanding is that the execution control semantics will not be
available till 6.x i.e. the repeatable semantics is not available in 5.4.
From a use case perspective it would be nice to see these feature
implemented -
1. At a ruleset level and which can be injected into the engine at runtime
for all rules in the ruleset, with default semantics that popular commercial
engines support.
2. Rule level semantics that can be specified for specific rules.
However from a Rule Architect perspective these are interesting and should
have appropriate controls in the API and the technical rule language i.e.
DRL to be able to control these.
My humble two cents :)

Using an activation listener could help to eliminate the memory leak, but with
the current implementation, it does not. When activations are added and
removed from the agenda, events are generated properly, in general. However,
there is one case that fails. If an activation is actually fired, then it
remains on the agenda and, because it was previously fired, if it is later
removed from the agenda, no activation event is fired. Unfortunately, this
missing event is precisely the event that is needed to clean out your cache of
previously-fired activations. (This hole existed in Drools 4 and also in
Drools 5 when I checked a few months ago. Perhaps it has been fixed since
then.)
If that hole were plugged, then this strategy would certainly do the job.
Neverhteless, based on other comments in this thread, I'm not sure if there
isn't a performance concern, though what other option is there until
@repeatable (or some alternative) is implemented?

The even is there, just it's an internal feature at the moment.
There is an unmatch callback, for when a rule stops being true, see
testActivationUnMatchListener:
https://github.com/droolsjbpm/drools/blob/master/drools-core/src/test/jav...
What you can do is set a call back during the activation created event. You'll need to
cast to an internal concrete class first, AgendaItem. Remember these interfaces and
classes will change over time.

I just downloaded the last Drools 5.5 source code and it still has the
problem. In DefaultAgenda.java, at line 707 in the cancelActivation()
method, it calls decreaseDormantActivations(), but doesn't bother to fire an
ActivationCancelled event. If lines 701-703 are copied before line 707,
then that is a quick way to fix the problem. (I have not checked 6.0)

The code looks ok to me. If an activation has fired, then you cannot cancel it. Cancelled
events are only for activations that are true and have not yet fired.
Read my previous email about how to use the unmatch listener, that will do what you want.

Yes, thanks, I think that will do it. Now back to the performance question:
earlier in this thread it was mentioned that this strategy had poor
performance. How bad is it? Is there any other alternative in Drools 5.5?

"poor" is a relative word. It might be fast enough for many people.
If we were to implement this in the core of the code, we could avoid a fair bit of the
work you are doing. As we implement "modify in place" all we need to do is
ignore any activations that are re-actives via a modify. We wouldn't need to do any
tracking.
