HD videos of policy driven components in distributed systems governance

I've been thinking about that for some time now: YouTube has the potential to be a great tool to increase research visibility and generate some feedback. I've already uploaded 3 videos showcasing some of the things I've done in the context of policy driven components in distributed systems governance.

A middleware infrastructure for multiple rule-engine distributed systems

The rule technological landscape is becoming ever more complex, with an extended number of specifications and products. It is therefore becoming increasingly difficult to integrate rule-driven components and manage interoperability in multi-rule engine environments. The described work presents the possibility to provide a middleware infrastructure for rule-driven components in a distributed system. The authors' approach leverages on a set of middleware, discovery protocol, rule interchange and user interface to alleviate the environment's complexity.

Towards governance of rule and policy driven components in distributed systems

The rule and policy technological landscape is becoming ever more complex, with an extended number of specifications and products. It is therefore becoming increasingly difficult to integrate rule and policy driven components and manage interoperability in distributed environments. The described work presents an infrastructure going towards the governance of heterogeneous rule and policy driven components in distributed systems. The authors' approach leverages on a set of middleware, discovery protocol, knowledge interchange and consolidation to alleviate the environment's complexity.

Yield RIF console

I've been working on policy-rule translation for a while now and a while back I published this little translation console: http://yieldrif.appspot.com/*. There, users can translate rules to/from DroolsML (http://www.jboss.org/drools), RIF-PRD (http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wiki/PRD), JessML (www.jessrules.com) and edit translators (XSLT).

If you have any comments on the translators and/or rules, please do let me know. I'll do my best to keep them updated.

I will hopefully post more on this in the coming weeks. Indeed, Mark Proctor (http://markproctor.com/), the JBoss Rules Lead, has agreed to do some work on Drools XML output (aka DroolsML) in exchange for RIF-PRD and RuleML translators.
