> Forward Chaining means that facts are asserted and propgated forward throughout the network, during forward propagation matching takes place which results in rules being fired - the rules are event based, in that they are fired in response to changed in the working memory.
> Backward chaining is query based. Rules attempt to fire first but do not have the necessary matched facts, so facts are pulled in from an external source.
