RULES BASED DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

Systems, methods and mediums are described for processing rules and associated bags of facts generated by an application in communication with a processing engine, database and rule engine that process the bags of facts in view of the rules and generate one or more rule-dependent responses to the application which performs one or more work flows based on the responses. The rule engine may apply forward-chaining, backward-chaining or a combination of forward-chaining and backward-chaining to process the rules and facts. Numerous novel applications that work in conjunction with the processing engine, database and rule engine are also described.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions for monitoring crew members associated with an airline that, when executed on a computing device, cause the computing device to at least:
receive data within an application regarding each crew member; send a message containing the data and a set of rules that apply to the data together to a rule engine to initiate a process for analyzing the data, the data being true for the set of rules for a current process state; analyze the data based on the set of rules operated within the rule engine to produce a rule-dependent response based on the data without requesting additional rules or additional data for the first set of rules from any source during the current process state; and based on the rule-dependent response, perform one or more work flows within the application related to identifying one or more airplane flights that meet duty time requirements for the crew member.
