Charles Forgy has reportedly stated that he adopted the term ' Rete ' because of its use in anatomy to describe a network of blood vessels and nerve fibers.

The performance of Rete 2 and Rete III are virtually the same but Rete III has some extensions that allow it to work more efficiently with RLT.

He has been the director of TG1, ( from 1981 to 1982 ), a news programme on Raiuno, Studio Aperto, ( from 1991 to 1993 ), a news programme on Italia 1 and TG4, ( from 1993 to 2012 ) a news programme on Rete 4.

Fede during the direction since 1991 to 2012 of TG4, a news programme on Rete 4, owned by Italian tycoon and former premier Silvio Berlusconi., has been often accused of excessive partisanship for Berlusconi in his news management.

Although the Italian Council of State, the highest court on administrative matters, has confirmed that the Italian government should abide by this European ruling, Rete 4 continues its operation on analog frequencies and on DVB-T.

The Rete algorithm provides the basis for a more efficient implementation.

In vertebrates, they are called a Rete mirabile, originally the name of an organ in fish gills for absorbing oxygen from the water.

The Rete algorithm ( or, rarely or ) is an efficient pattern matching algorithm for implementing production rule systems.

The word ' Rete ' is Latin for ' net ' or ' comb '.

The Rete algorithm is designed to sacrifice memory for increased speed.

The Rete algorithm provides a generalized logical description of an implementation of functionality responsible for matching data tuples (" facts ") against productions (" rules ") in a pattern-matching production system ( a category of rule engine ).

As for conflict resolution, the firing of activated production instances is not a feature of the Rete algorithm.

However, by implementing additional beta node types, it is possible for Rete networks to perform quantifications.

For a more detailed and complete description of the Rete algorithm, see chapter 2 of Production Matching for Large Learning Systems by Robert Doorenbos ( see link below ).

Another example concerns additional time-stamping facilities provided by many engines for each WME entering a Rete network, and the use of these time-stamps in conjunction with conflict resolution strategies.

Several optimisations for Rete have been identified and described in academic literature.

Rete II claims better performance for more complex problems ( even orders of magnitude ), and is officially implemented in CLIPS / R2.

Backward chaining alone can account for the most extreme changes in benchmarks relating to Rete vs. Rete II.

The Rete Mirabile allows for an increase in muscle temperature in regions where this network of vein and arteries is found.

Allen Newell's research group in artificial intelligence had been working on production systems for some time, but Forgy's implementation, based on his Rete algorithm, was especially efficient, sufficiently so that it was possible to scale up to larger problems involving hundreds or thousands of rules.

Dr Charles L. Forgy ( born December 12, 1949 in Texas ) is a computer scientist, known for developing the Rete algorithm used in his OPS5 and other production system languages used to build expert systems.

Even though Forgy did not work directly on the DEC XCON AI problem of configuring computers for DEC in the late 70's and early 80's, the Rete algorithm was later incorporated into the system for more speed.

Ever since, many similar mechanisms have been found in biologic systems, the most notable of these: the Rete mirabile in fish.

The Fininvest group is composed of a number important companies: Mediolanum ( an insurance and banking company ), Medusa ( a major Italian film production company ), Mondadori ( one of Italy's leading publishing companies ), A. C. Milan ( a football team ) and Mediaset, which is currently the biggest private entertainment competitor in Italy, owning three channels ( Canale 5, Italia 1, Rete 4 ), two channels in Spain, Endemol, a digital TV broadcasting network and many other companies related to TV broadcasting.

They are collected into rule sets which are then translated, often at run time, into an executable Rete.

For example, engines may provide specialised support within the Rete network in order to apply pattern-matching rule processing to specific data types and sources such as programmatic objects, XML data or relational data tables.

* Rete algorithm, an efficient pattern matching algorithm for implementing production rule systems

This is a Rete algorithm rule engine.

The Rete algorithm is widely used to implement matching functionality within pattern-matching engines that exploit a match-resolve-act cycle to support forward chaining and inferencing.

However, it is a central feature of engines that use Rete networks.

Quantification is not universally implemented in Rete engines, and, where it is supported, several variations exist.

Although not defined by the Rete algorithm, some engines provide extended functionality to support greater control of truth maintenance.

Some engines provide built-in justification systems in conjunction with their implementation of the Rete algorithm.

In very large expert systems, however, the original Rete algorithm tends to run into memory consumption problems.

In most cases, the speed increase over naïve implementations is several orders of magnitude ( because Rete performance is theoretically independent of the number of rules in the system ).

The Rete algorithm, developed by Charles Forgy, is an example of such a matching algorithm ; it was used in the OPS series of production system languages.

Rete II can be characterized by two areas of improvement ; specific optimizations relating to the general performance of the Rete network ( including the use of hashed memories in order to increase performance with larger sets of data ), and the inclusion of a backward chaining algorithm tailored to run on top of the Rete network.

; Lightweight Business Rules Engine: Schematron is not a comprehensive, Rete rules engine, but it can be used to express rules about complex structures with an XML document.
