Loosely-Coupled and Event-Messaged Interactions with Reaction RuleML 1.0 in Rule Responder

taraathan AT gmail.com Abstract. Reaction RuleML is one of the two major subfamilies of RuleML and acts as an interchange format for reactive rules and rulebased event-processing languages. Exemplified with a recent instantiation of Rule Responder, a rule-based inference agent middleware, we demonstrate the event messaging features of Reaction RuleML, which supports loosely-coupled interface-based interaction using rule signatures and decoupled communication via event messages.
