25 Mar production system

A computational system or part of a system that contains any number of production rules (a rule that provides a defined result or action for a defined condition or logical statement), along with a database of state information and a procedure for invoking the rules. In production systems, the process of invoking rules (usually an arbitrary process) is called “firing” – just like in the brain. At the time of this blog, these systems are often called “rules engines”.
