Steve Ross-Talbot is the founder, CTO and chairman of SpiritSoft Inc. He has worked in computational science for 19 years during which time he has built SQL compilers, advanced databases and UI tools. Prior to starting SpiritSoft Inc he was a leading consultant in investment banking technology for a number of investment banks, specializing in active architectures and dissemination information system.
In recent years Steve has concentrated on technologies higher up the middleware stack and is heavily involved in defining RuleML and participating in various JSR initiatives dealing with JMS and JMS related technologies.
Over the last two decades rules have become an increasingly important part of
the information technology landscape. In fact, deductive rules have been
applied to databases since the inception of SQL and form the basis of policy
management and decision making at most corporations. However, the rules are
changing. A newer reactive rules solution based on events, conditions, and
action (ECA) has come to the foreground.
In addition, the rise of the Java runtime and development environment from a
niche solution to prime time is also changing the rules of the information
technology landscape. With Java as the core technology for embedded and
enterprise applications, rules are an ideal means for businesses to harness
the power of the language for a competitive advantage.

To the uninitiated, those unversed in the art of computing, 'building to
scale' sounds like something architects do when they take one of those models
to a board meeting for approval. It sounds a million miles away from what we
understand in computing.
Just for the record what do we mean when we talk about "building to scale"?
We mean that the computer system (the software and hardware) p... (more)
What better way to highlight the issues that need to be addressed by wireless
information providers (i.e., Reuters, Instinet), wireless software tools

than by looking at a day in the life of a typical businessperson in the
emerging wireless world? When Mr.or Ms. Wireless gets up in the morning, what
