Let me reconfirm a statement in the Jess manual.
You wrote “There are two simple optimizations that can make Rete
even better …” in the Rete Algorithm chapter.
Do you mean the idea of sharing pattern and join nodes original to
Jess?
No, the "two simple optimizations" did not originate with Jess --
they appear in the first paper on the Rete algorithm. Jess does do
some unique and original things to speed up the basic Rete algorithm,
but node sharing was an intrinsic part of the algorithm as it was
first described.
