Hi Wei Tai, first of all, there is a Chinese proverb "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.", so please allow me to mention that google and wikipedia are your good friends when you start to learn something. Here is a Wikipedia entry for Production Rule System:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_system You can search for the other concepts yourself. And, the official Drools Documentation is exceptionally good, please by all means read it if you are new to expert system and Drools. Here you can download the latest Drools 5.0.0 M2 doc as a zip file: http://www.jboss.org/drools/downloads.html You will know from the web articles and Drools doc that there are good books for beginners. Grab the book list and go to your univ. lib or amazon.com, get a copy and invest time for reading. Hope that helps. Ellen N.
