Abstract
In this paper, we focus on the control problems related to the evaluation of a parallel rule-based systems (RBS), especially on the serializability and rules execution order issues. We express these problems in terms of a coordination problem between certain agents for a common decision-making, and for which we suggest a totally distributed solution using a focal points algorithm [4].
