Mobile applications are becoming increasingly complex.
This is making ground for rules engine in mobile platform.
Rules engine can help keeping business logic separate from application logic.
At this point of time, not many rules engines are known to work in mobile platforms.
We have ported and evaluated nines rules engines CLIPS, openerules, JXBRE, JEOPS, Roolie,
Termware, Jruleengine, Zilonis, DTRules in Android. This book provides detailed description,
step by step porting guides, sample working code for each of the rules engine.
We also discuss the issues faced while attempting to port other popular rules engines like Drools, JLisa, “Take” and Jess.
We compared the rules engines based on Licensing, language used to develop, rules syntax, reasoning method, multi threading support, scalability, etc in Android. If you are trying to use a rules engine in a mobility project, this book can save more than 4 staff weeks of effort.
