Talk:Production system (computer science)

message: It might be nice to add a list of production rule systems (besides OPS5) -- just an idea
I don't care.
:I don't know if it makes sense to merge these, but if not it certainly does make sense to have them link to each other.  expert system is the real mess!--Jaibe 21:05, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: List of production rule systems?

message: Production system, Business rules engine, production system, inference engine, all those are basically the same notion, alll these articles needs to be merged in the same document, maybe we can have differents paragraphs for each, but they are basically the same thing--Kompere (talk) 14:57, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They are not basically the same notion. Production systems are a family of methods that can be applied to various tasks (graphics for example, with L-Systems), business rules engines are one application of them. Business logic and inference engines can be implemented as a production system but need not be. The merge call is therefore not well founded. Merging production systems with business logic and inference engines would be like merging the entry on First Person Shooters with the entries on Quake Wars and OpenGL. --62.172.138.4 (talk) 12:15, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Can the articles be clearly contrasted then, please? I.e. have paragraphs which explicitly say why this is different from the other, maybe with some examples. Thanks! --Shepard (talk) 15:33, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge 

message: I came to this page, to compare what might be said about a production system, as compared to a service system.  I was surprised to see that this definition says "a production system ... is a computer program".  This doesn't seem to match the more generalized description in Encyclopedia Britannica, where "factors of production" of land, labour and capital are listed; nor is the definition in line with the Toyota Production System, which I would have presumed as a subtype of production system.  I presume that some disambiguation would be appropriate. Daviding (talk) 00:05, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Production systems in contexts other than computing? 

message: can someone please put something better up there.   these examples are useless.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.13.241.174 (talk) 22:46, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  horrible examples 

message: Sorry but this article reads like a complete mess to me.
Please reread it. I am a purported WikiGnome, and though.

thread_title:  À Complete Mess ? 

message: The term production system is most frequently today to refer to computer systems that are being used to do actually work rather then just being used for testing software or external/add-on hardware. Many software developers will warm users of "production systems" not to run a particular alpha or beta version of their software (especially an operating system) on such a machine as they considered it still to unstable. Should we include some mention of this alternate definition in the article so as to differentiate it from the definition used in this article? I have never heard the terms used in reference to artificial intelligence but frequently have heard it used in relation to beta operating system versions of Mac OS X, IOS, MS Windows, Linux, etc. --2600:1700:56A0:4680:21F7:2120:F30:5E63 (talk) 00:24, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Production system has an alternative and more common (at least these days) definition in computer science
