2nd RuleML symposium (highly successful RuleML-2007)
Goal to bring together rule system providers, rule standardization efforts and open source rules communities, practitioners and technical experts, developers, users, and researchers.
The RuleML Initiative (http://www.ruleml.org)
Organized by representatives from academia, industry and government for promotion of the modern and future generations of rule technology, which provides enhanced usability, scalability and performance.
Goal: to be a general and open intermediary between various “specialized” rule vendors, applications, industrial and research working groups and standardization efforts.
