Please predict whether this patent is acceptable.PATENT ABSTRACT: Systems, methods and mediums are described for processing rules and associated bags of facts generated by an application in communication with a processing engine, database and rule engine that process the bags of facts in view of the rules and generate one or more rule-dependent responses to the application which performs one or more work flows based on the responses. The rule engine may apply forward-chaining, backward-chaining or a combination of forward-chaining and backward-chaining to process the rules and facts. Numerous novel applications that work in conjunction with the processing engine, database and rule engine are also described.
