Jadex Rules is a small lightweight rule engine, which currently employs the well-known Rete algorithm for highly efficient rule matching. Jadex rules is therefore similar to other rule engines like JESS and Drools. Despite the similarities there are also important differences between these systems: * Jadex Rules is very small and intended to be used as component of other software. Even though rules can be specified in a Java dialect as well as (a small variation of) the CLIPS language its primary usage is on the API level. Jadex Rules is currently the core component of the Jadex BDI reasoning engine. * Jadex Rules cleanly separates between state and rule representation. This allows the state implementation as well as the matcher to be flexibly exchanged. Some experiments have e.g. been conducted with a Jena representation. Regarding the matcher, it is planned to support also the Treat algorithm, which has a lower memory footprint than Rete. * Jadex Rules pays close attention to rule debugging. The state as well as the rete engine can be observed at runtime. The rule debugger provides functionalities to execute a rule program stepwise and also use rule breakpoints to stop the execution at those points.

The Jadex application kernel provides application support for active components, whereby an application is itself considered as an active component. Applications are composed of subcomponents as well as spaces in various characteristics.

The Jadex component kernel provides basic support for active components. A component may be composed of subcomponents.

Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) implementation.

The Jadex nuggets is a fast Java bean to XML and back converter.

The Jadex platform package contains implementations of platform services as well as the platform component itself.

The Jadex micro kernel provides a lightweight and very efficient kernel for minimal agents with an extremely low memory footprint. Micro agents have a simple internal architecture that is similar to active objects. They are programmed as Java objects overriding a framework class, which has predefined methods for the setup, termination, execution logic as well as message receipt.

The Jadex base kernel provides basic support for all kinds of active components.

Jadex bridge is a base package for kernels and platforms, i.e. it is used by both and provides commonly used interfaces and classes for active components and their management.

Small Java annotation-based event-condition-action rule engine.
