Abstract
Some embodiments of a multiple entry point network for stream support in an exemplary rule engine have been presented. In one embodiment, a stream of events is asserted into a working memory of a rule engine, which supports event processing. The rule engine, running on a server, processes the stream of events against a set of rules retrieved from a rule repository of the rule engine. To process the events, the rule engine may construct a network having multiple root nodes, each being an entry point into the network, through which the events may enter the network and propagate through the network.
