In this three months, during my work with Jess, I've found very usefull
this mailing list. Now that I finished my work I wish to point out some
things about Jess.
First I've used two jess.Rete objects in my program, each one in a
different thread, and a lot of other threads together with them, however I
haven't had any problem: I think Jess it's really thread safe.
In Jess, like in other classical language for expert systems, e.g Clips,
the engine ends its work when there aren't rules that could be activated. I
think this could be a strong limitation in multithreaded environment and
when the system is able to interact with users in an asynchronous manner.
This is a typical situation with Jess and the unique solution to make the
engine alive is to write an unusefull and time consuming infinite loop.
Perhaps Jess could have the opportunity to run the engine in such a way as
it's alive till someone sends an halt command.
My work is an example of using Jess and Java to build a simple tamagochi.
If somebody will be interesting in it I'll be happy to send it by email or
let it on a web site.
Thank you for the usefull information I've found on this mailing list.
