The goal of the course was to specifically practice academic research skills. No sweat! On to the next one.

This website is green!

I’m happy to inform you that this website is carbon neutral. And I didn’t even have to do anything for it. Happens that the hosting provider where I host this site became green by compensating for its CO2 emission via the purchase of trees from Cleanbits.

Just got my grade back for a course I recently finished. The course was about business rules  and how to formalize them in relation algebra so that they can be executed by a rule engine. I noticed a lot of similarities between business rules and expert systems and I wonder if it isn’t just an old concept with a new name. Interesting nonetheless though.
