+  Verlaenen leads this and has done some amazing work; he's currently moving
+  flow to be incorporated into jBPM 5. The fith module called Planner,
+  authored by Geoffrey De Smet, solves allocation and scheduling type problem
+  and while still in the early stage of development is showing a lot of
+  promise. We hope to add Semantics for 2011, based around description logc,
+  and that is being work on as part of the next generaion Drools

+  <para>I've been working in the rules field now for around 7 years and I
+  finally feel like I'm getting to grips with things and ideas are starting to
+  gel and the real innovation is starting to happen. To me It feels like we
+  actually know what we are doing now, compared to the past where there was a
+  lot of wild guessing and exploration. I've been working hard on the next
+  generation Drools Expert design document with Edson Tirelli and Davide
+  Sottara. I invite you to read the document and get involved, <link
+  xlink:href="http://community.jboss.org/wiki/DroolsLanguageEnhancements">http://community.jboss.org/wiki/DroolsLanguageEnhancements</link>.
+  The document takes things to the next level pushing Drools forward as a
+  hybrid engine, not just a capable production rule system, but also melding
+  in logic programming (prolog) with functional programming and description
+  logic along with a host of other ideas for a more expressive and modern
