Introduction

A UI to monitor and visualize the health of a project

Calculate the health of the project using JBoss Rules

UI built using an RIA(Rich Internet Application) development

environment, FLEX.

5Health of a project.

Previous work

UI built using Scalable Vector Graphics(SVG).

Displays status of process based on simple metrics.

Doesn’t compute health of project.

Project Abstract

Animation of the process flow.

The system uses the TieSPA database to collect data for the rules.

Calculating the health of a project.

System alerts may be generated.

Requirements

Animation of a software process flow diagram.

Identify the set of rules that calculates the Health of the project.

Alerts.

Dynamic Reports.

Why Flex?

Integrated Development Environment

Built on top of the Eclipse Platform or we can use Flex builder

MXML(Macromedia XML)

User Interface Components

Features:-

◦ Integrated compiler

◦ Code hints

◦ Debugger & Design View

◦ Integrated Version Control (CVS, SVN, etc.)14Health of a project.

Why Jboss for our project

Declarative Programming

Project is just too fiddle for traditional code.

Logic and Data Separation

The logic changes often we can update rules in systems that are in

production

Speed and Scalability

Tool Integration

Centralization of Knowledge

What is production Rule system?What is production Rule system?

Manages execution order of rules

Conflict Resolution strategy

Matches facts and data, against Production Rules to infer conclusions

which result in actions.

process of matching the new or existing

facts against Production Rules

17Health of a project.

Why a Production Rule System is different

Methods of execution :

◦ Forward Chaining: Data driven

◦ Backward Chaining: Goal driven

◦ Hybrid Production Rule Systems.

Algorithms used for Pattern Matching : ReteOO
