OpenRules RuleSolver is an open source tool that adds the power of Constraint and Linear Programming to Business Decision Modeling. It extends OpenRules Decision Manager to support Declarative Decision Modeling and Decision Optimization.

The newest OpenRules Release 10.1.0 comes with an essentially simplified RuleSolver which now requires only two tables “DefineVariables” and “PostConstraints“ to define many complex logical problems. It also provides predefined methods for problem resolution so you really may concentrate only on the question “WHAT” and not worry about “HOW”. I will demonstrate the new decision modeling facilities using a relatively complex logical problem “Family Riddle“.
