[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBRULES-46) Prolog Style Query Based Backward Chaining

[Brandon Rich (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-46?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12533032#action_12533032 ] 

Brandon Rich commented on JBRULES-46:
-------------------------------------

So, I take it these updates mean that backward chaining is being/has been developed?  I would love to know more if there was some documentation somewhere.  Is backward chaining semi-usable in trunk?

> 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.
