Related Events

The Drools team are also actively involved in two other great events each year, which we strongly recommend, both the RuleML symposium and Rules Fest conference.

RuleML 2010 Symposium http://2010.ruleml.org/

• Devoted to practical distributed rule technologies and rule-based  applications, which need language standards for rules (inter)operating in, e.g., the  Semantic Web, Enterprise Systems, Intelligent Multi-Agent Systems, Event-Driven Architectures, and Service-Oriented Applications.

Rules Fest 2010

Registration Details (closed)

The boot camp is free, you only need to turn up, but please register (see registration table below) so we can ensure adequate capacity. Please fill out the form, in the style that is already there, use an "x" to indicate the days you wish to attend. If you do not put your name down,  and there is not enough capacity, you may not be able to attend. Also please make sure you send me an email that you are attending, so I have your email on file so that I can send further information and instructions : mproctor at codehaus d0t org.

Who should attend

The meeting is suitable for people of all levels, from those just wanting to find out what Drools is and what others are doing with it, to hard core programmers who want to delve deep into Drools internals. You are welcome to just come along, watch the talks and observe. Ideally you'll bring your laptop and be willing to roll up your sleeves and hack on Drools itself, fixing some bug, coding a new feature or example or touching up the documentation. Or maybe you just want to work through the Drools documentation or examples, to learn things, with the Drools team at hand for your questions. It's also perfectly acceptable to bring along your company projects and work on them there, with us close to hand to offer guidance.

As always with these bootcamps you get the most out of it if you are proactive and know what you want to get out of it. You have the Drools team there to offer advice and provide mentoring and general help, so make the most of it.

We will aim for 30% to 40% of the time to be in provided talks, which will range from drools basics to advanced concepts and also cover the industry in general.

Monday and Tuesday will be exclusive to the medical and healthcare communities, with talks and discussions tailored to this.

Wednesday onwards is open to all and we recommend this as the start day for non-medical/healthcare professionals.

Agenda

Mon-Tue (medical only)

The first two days are  exclusive to the medical community and only people from medical  organisations or with a medical background will be allowed to attend. By medical we also mean healthcare and pharmeceuticals.

Wed - Fri (general - open to all)

These days are open to everyone and all topics and industries are  open for discussion.

Proposed talks

We now have a number proposed talks. No dates or times have been decided yet, other than the keynote being delivered by James Taylor on Wednesday. Some talks, especially the general ones are likely to be repeated at both the medical and the general sessions. Times will be fixed closer to the event.

We'd very much like for this to be a communtiy driven  event with some industry focus; so that means the more community people  who can present and/or hold talks the better. So please volunteer your proposals. All talks  should atleast have some relevancy for rules, workflow, event  processing, planning and ontologies; ideally but does not have to be  with some Drools relationship. The range of topics can be anything you  think of that would be of interest to the attendess, that can include,  but not be limited to:

• Show of your cool project       
  • Should either be using drools, or planning to move to it (with  details of how that move will work)
• Talk about  existing experiences and problems
• General authoring, tell the  world how you think these applications should be built
• General  industry talks, on players involved and where the industry is giong
• Talk  about industry solutions and how they are solved. It doesn't need to  involve Drools, but should be relevant in giving people ideas on how  Drools could be used.
• If your software involves Drools and is  Open Source and of interest to  others, we may even be able to provide  you time for a workshop.
• Discuss standards, integration, logic  programming or just have a general rant.
• Anything else you think  people attending might be interested in
