OpenKBM
Encyclopedia
OpenKBM is a systems management
platform for the development of applications that solve complex problems using knowledge management
techniques (the KBM in OpenKBM stands for Knowledge Based Management).
Originally conceived of and developed as a next generation replacement for Gensym's G2 real-time expert system development platform, the OpenKBM technology and its first layered product, NetCure, were acquired by Rocket Software in 2001 from Gensym Corporation. Today OpenKBM is used by Rocket and, via OEM agreements, by Rocket Software partners such as IBM and Avaya as the basis for several large scalable management software applications.

OpenKBM Components
OpenKBM provides the following extensible infrastructure for applications that are based upon the platform:- Object model for representing the systems to be managed
- Object-oriented hierarchy of monitoring information types such as events, fault, and statistics
- Data acquisition, signal processing, and event processing engines
- Forward chainingForward chainingForward chaining is one of the two main methods of reasoning when using inference rules and can be described logically as repeated application of modus ponens. Forward chaining is a popular implementation strategy for expert systems, business and production rule systems...
event correlation engine - Knowledge Based Management Language (KBML) for codifying event correlation rules, and signal and event processing logic
- Frameworks for both thick client and web-based graphical user interfaces
