Honestly, most of...you shouldn't feel bad about it. Honestly, most of the literature on RETE is very hard to read. Even people with PHd in computer science have lots of difficulties understanding the papers. I've read most of the major RETE papers dozens of times and I'm still discovering little details I missed in the past. It's very easy to read Forgy or doorenbos paper and get a false sense of understanding. I know I definitely did when I read it the first 10 times. For several years, I kept referring to RETE-UL paper as "one of the optimization papers" until I started to hear people refer to it as RETE/UL or RETE-UL.<BR/><BR/>I think you'll find that the more you read it and work on a your engine, many of the things doorenbos glosses over are actually very important details. Even though RETE-UL is one of the best papers, it still isn't easy and many people mistakenly misread. God knows I did.woolfelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814445471254728002noreply@blogger.com
