  • Ruleset optimization through blocked and concurrent rule dispatch
    Patent number: 8032475
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for optimizing the processing of abstract rules. In general, the results of executing an abstract query may be used as data inputs for processing an abstract rule. In one embodiment, query results may be sorted according to input field values required for processing a deterministic abstract rule. If a record of the sorted query results includes the same input values as a preceding record, then the rule output of the preceding record may be reused, rather than processing the abstract rule again. Accordingly, the demand load placed on a rule engine may be reduced.
    Type: Grant

  • QUERY BASED RULE SETS
    Publication number: 20090019000
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for processing abstract rule sets in a query engine. In general, the functions and Boolean logic incorporated in an abstract rule are analyzed to determine whether the rule may be processed by a query engine. As a result, the abstract rule as a whole may be processed by a query engine, may be processed in a rule engine, or may be processed in two stages in a query engine and a rule engine.
