Hi everyone, After using Jess in college, I'm looking at using it for some other more serious work and realized I still had some lingering questions:
- One of the strengths of Jess is that we can just put facts in and no algorithm is needed - rules fire and hey presto! But when multiple rules fire (especially in the cases where there is some "overlap" in the criteria that make various rules fire) are there good approaches to harness all these firings and distill them back into one outcome which is all too often what's required when combining Jess with other procedural systems? I hope that makes sense. I can see how in some cases firing multiple rules and having different paths is great, but in a case such as classification (just off the top of my head) only 1 outcome is desired. Are there particular phrases I can use when looking for literature to do with this? Cheers, Matt
