There is one sentence that lets me ask whether you understand the<div>workings of a rule based system: "...the rules that generate the events...".</div><div><br></div><div>The essential idea of a RBS is the <i>selection</i> of data ("facts") based on its</div>
<div>attributes by conditions being evaluated over combinations of </div><div>data items. Then, as a secondary activity, the RBS may be instructed</div><div>to create additional facts.</div><div><br></div><div>Generating facts out of Nothing is not the forte of a RBS; I don't see how</div>
<div>you could write rules that generate "events" by deriving them out of - what?</div><div><br></div><div>Perhaps you could provide more background?<br><br>-W<br><div class="gmail_quote">On 14 January 2012 02:47, sverker <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sverker@abrahamsson.com">sverker@abrahamsson.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I have an application where I want to generate calendar events. Each event<br>
will have an attached resource and people will be able to book themselves to<br>
this event. The events are re-occuring in that they are on fixed time each<br>
day/weekday etc, like "every friday 07:00 -12:00 unless holiday" or<br>
something like that. The events shall be batch generated at beginning of<br>
each month and put into a database. I want the rules that generate the<br>
events to have some kind of DSL to be easily readable also for<br>
non-technishians.<br>
<br>
My question, would drools be a suitable tool for this task? I've been trying<br>
to find examples on the above but couldn't find any.<br>
