Hi all, 

Could anyone tell me if the  random  function of  jess is  normal or uniform?  

Thank you for help

Dear Jess users,

apologies if you receive this more than once, but I think that Jess users are 
in 
a particularly well equipped position for participating in this rule challenge, 
and that's why I gladly take the opportunity to post this call for on this 
list.

Overview and Aim
==
 
The RuleML2011@BRF Challenge is one of the highlights at RuleML2011@BRF 
Conference.The RuleML2011@BRF Challenge is dedicated to practical experiences 
with rule-oriented applications. In particular, submissions of benchmarks / 
evaluations, demos, case studies / use cases, experience reports, best practice 
solutions (e.g. design patterns, reference architectures, models), rule-based 
implementations / tools / applications, demonstrations of engineering methods, 
implementations of rule standards (e.g. RuleML, RIF SBVR, PRR, rule-based Event 
Processing languages, BPMN+rules, BPEL+rules,...), rules + industrial standards 
(e.g. XBRL, MISMO, Accord, ...), and industrial problem statements are 
particularly encouraged.
 
 
Key themes of the RuleML2011@BRF Challenge include the following:
* Demos related to the RuleML2011@BRF Track Topics
* Extensions and implementations of rule standards: W3C RIF, RuleML, SBVR,...
* Editing environments and IDEs for Web rules
* Benchmarks and comparison results for rule engines
* Distributed rule bases and rule services
* Reports on industrial experience about rule systems
 
A dedicated track of RuleML2011@BRF Challenge will be focused on the theme:
 
**Combining Rules, Objects, and Ontologies: Implementations and Applications**
- Loose/tight integrations of rules and knowledge bases
- Knowledge Modelling and Reasoning
- Real cases and practical experiences
 
Ideally, demos submitted to the Challenge track should tackle knowledge-rich 
domain problems. The proposed solution should address such problem using a 
combination of rule-based modelling and semantic knowledge-based modelling. 
Solutions ranging from loosely coupled hybrid systems (i.e. where different 
frameworks are put together), to unified homogeneous architectures (i.e. where 
a 
unified model / semantics, within a single framework, is proposed) will be of 
great interest for the special track.
Prizes will be awarded to the two best applications from the main focus them 
and 
for the all categories. All accepted demos will be presented in a special 
Challenge Session.
 
Submission
==
 
The submission is composed of two parts:
- open-source or commercial demo
- demo papers describing research, implementation, and technical details of 
your 
submission.
Submissions to the Rules Challenge 2011 consist of a demo paper of 4-8 pages 
describing the demo show case, and a link to the demo/show case, e.g.  project 
site, an online demonstration, a presentation about the demonstration or a 
download site for the demonstration.
Demo and papers submission website:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ruleml2011challenge
 
Please upload all demo papers submissions as PDF files in LNCS format
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). 
To ensure high quality, submitted papers will be carefully peer-reviewe 
according to the evaluation criteria indicated below.
 
To better disseminate your work, please also udpate your demo in the systems 
submission website with a brief abstract presentation:

Jess just uses java.util.Random, which you can read about in the Javadoc:
