It might be nice to add a list of production rule systems (besides OPS5) -- just an idea

I don't care.

I don't know if it makes sense to merge these, but if not it certainly does make sense to have them link to each other. expert system is the real mess!--Jaibe 21:05, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

Production system, Business rules engine, production system, inference engine, all those are basically the same notion, alll these articles needs to be merged in the same document, maybe we can have differents paragraphs for each, but they are basically the same thing--Kompere (talk) 14:57, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They are not basically the same notion. Production systems are a family of methods that can be applied to various tasks (graphics for example, with L-Systems), business rules engines are one application of them. Business logic and inference engines can be implemented as a production system but need not be. The merge call is therefore not well founded. Merging production systems with business logic and inference engines would be like merging the entry on First Person Shooters with the entries on Quake Wars and OpenGL. --62.172.138.4 (talk) 12:15, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

production system outdated?

I have some questions about production systems and any knowledgeable advice would be welcome.
First, do production systems differ fundamentally from logical inferencing systems such as prolog? Is there any reason for me experiment with production systems if I'm already familiar with the prolog? Or are they really of the same aspect under the skin (I get the impression that production systems resemble a cut-down and somewhat informal kind of logical inferencing).
Second, and possibly related to the first, are production systems particularly common these days? I understand that they had largely died out. I've heard that they were particularly difficult to program.
If the answer to the second point is yes then it might bear mentioning in the main article.
