AW: JESS: Jess and deductive databases

2006-02-09 Thread Thomas Beer
Thanks a lot for your immediate response! I will check out the book you
recommended.
But there is still one important question for me: What are the essential
differences between Jess (or an rule-based expert system in general) and
deductive databases (e.g. Ontobroker)?

Best regards,
Thomas Beer

 Betreff: Re: JESS: Jess and deductive databases
 
 H  With today's 64-bit environments, you can do several  
 Terabytes in memory; if you  have the memory and the architecture.   
 We did some studies on that back in 2002 and found that 4GB was  
 terribly limiting to a really complex rulebase.  100 tables with  
 1,000,000 entries ends up being 100,000,000 entries which 
 would take,  
 on the average of 2,000 bytes per object, 200,000,000,000 bytes of  
 memory.  And that's BEFORE you add the complexity of the rule  
 matching.  That's quite a bit and smacks of poor architecture.  It's  
 the old principle of Just throw everything into a big bucket, stir  
 it around, and see what rises to the top.  No thought.  No  
 planning.  Just hoping.
 
 Now, to the time problem; I think Dr. Friedman-Hill has covered this  
 many times and it's covered quite well in his book, Jess in Action  
 - available from Amazon.  And, no, I'm not pimping for the book.   
 Just pointing it out.
 
 Performance tests are available at http://www.kbsc.com/ 
 benchmarks2000-2005.xls (available sometime tonight or tomorrow) and  
 (soon - maybe a couple of months) http://www.kbsc.com/ 
 benchmarks2006-2010.xls.  Enjoy...

  Hi all Jess users!
  I'm not sure if this mailing list is the right one for my 
 question,  
  if there
  is a more adequate list just give me a hint.
  I have a more common question regarding Jess, rule-based expert  
  systems and
  deductive databases. What are the essential differences (besides  
  the smooth
  Java integration) between Jess (or an rule-based expert system) and
  deductive databases (e.g. Ontobroker)?
  Is it possible to store a huge amount of facts (related to  
  databases, e.g.
  100 tables with 100 table entries each) in the working memory?  
  Is there
  a kind of database backend integrated which automatically 
 updates the
  working memory? Are there some performance tests available?
  Is Jess appropriate for handling time sensitive facts and rules  
  related to
  them, e.g. If time is 06:00 then ring alarm. What I'm asking is,  
  is it
  possible (or reasonable) using Jess to implement time dependent  
  triggers?
  This would require periodically updates (e.g. every milli second)  
  of the
  working memory, right?!?
 
  I strongly appreciate your help!

Re: JESS: Research on Ontology + Jess

Hello Jason
I am a PhD student in Computing, University of Tasmania, Australia  using 
Jess in a pseudo expert system which relies on the notion that users can
learn to become experts. They construct their own ontology .. with the
aid of software.
There is research into knowledge-base-free expert systems and how to draw 
hierarchic (Richards) and mesh inferences(Suryanto) from them. There is
research on a system for eliminating the knowledge engineer altogether
(MCRDR - Kang). These all come from the stable of the university of New
South Wales in Sydney (Paul Compton I think is the  instigating academic).

I will be happy to fill out your questionnaire.. I can send my last paper 
(more than 2,000 words), but am buried in work at present.

regards
Rob

 Any research stories, application and implementation stories, or

Knowledge Systems with a Knowledge Engineer.  God save us all.  In  
the movie Patton when they mentioned battles fought without  
soldiers, Patton was horrified that there could be a battle without  
honor or glory or personal sacrifice.  He said that he hoped that he  
would never live that long.  Well, it's happening now.  I'm glad he's

Knowledge Engineer take 2...

I think the word these days is programmer - which we cant really do
without. The MCRDR system is designed for the non-computing expert to
build and edit his/her own rule set without filtering through the brain
of the computing expert who encodes/encoded the rules and who had to have 
these amazing psychological skills of knowledge extraction.

[And I have the feeling that the world might have benefited from a few
less generals, too :)]
