Abstract
Some embodiments of a method to support multi-result set calculation in a rule engine have been presented. A rule engine can compile a set of rules to build a network for evaluating facts against the rules. The rules include at least one rule requiring multiple calculations to be executed for the same set of facts. The rule engine can create a single multi-result set calculation node for this rule in the network. The multi-result set calculation node can generate a set of results and add the set of results to a tuple to be propagated to a second node connected to an output of the multi-result set calculation node.
