Hi,

thanks for your reply Martijn. The solution should work
but is also rather inefficient because all facts would have
be stored twice. Maybe some Rete expert could argue, if such
a rule could be expressed direcly in a rete network (not considering
the specification language). If this is possible it might indicate
that just the CLIPS/JESS language is insufficient for expressing such kind of behavior.

Kind regards,
Lars

Hi,

You must either keep the same data in another slot for reference like:
(C (m a b c) (m-old a b c d)) Now you can compare old and new and detect 
changes between. (actually you store the mutation this way)

Or I think you have to store each object in a separate fact and keep track of 
changes through activations (addition) or retractions and logical dependencies 
(removal).

Regards,
Martijn

Subject: JESS: Rules for detecting changes of a multislot

Hi,

I am trying to design a rule that is able to detect
when a single fact of a multislot is added/removed.
Given that the contained multislot values are
backed with Java objects I would also like to
know which fact has been added/removed.

(deftemplate C (multislot m))
(deffacts facts
    (C (m a b c))
)

For the addition of values I could figure out
a rule that does what I want, but its unclear
to me how this could be achieved for the removal
of values. (The addition rule simply uses a pattern
(? ?fact ?) in order to generate bindings for
each element of the multislot.)

Any ideas how this could be achieved?

Kind regards,
Lars
