NodeBrain 0.9.03 (Columbo) Released

NodeBrain is a rule engine for element state and event monitoring. Each instance of the engine can operate as a node within a network of engines, and plug-in modules operate as nodes within an engine. Decisions are made by a hierarchy of cells that have formulas and values much like a spreadsheet. The 0.9.02 release provided performance improvements for large rules sets (e.g. 1 million) and the 0.9.03 release has an improved API for modules to extend rule engine capability with the addition of new cell functions and node functions. NodeBrain is provided as a component for use in the creation of monitoring systems, and integrates easily with scripting languages.
