What better way to kick off our blog than with news of a great last minute addition to the DIALOG 08 conference program? James Taylor, co-author of the book “Smart (Enough) Systems,” has kindly accepted ILOG’s invitation to give a special lunch-time discussion session on Tuesday February 26th.

James is a well-known and passionate advocate of business rules and decision management technologies. In addition to plugging his book, he’ll be discussing how current business trends are forcing organizations to build smarter systems and offering advice on how to gain competitive advantage by using existing technologies in new ways to solve problems.

As one of the testimonials on his website says: “James Taylor and Neil Raden are on to something important in this book.” I’m sure I’ll not be the only one wanting to learn more when Tuesday lunchtime rolls around, so if you get there early, could you save me a seat?

James will also be blogging the BRMS track sessions throughout the conference, so if you haven’t already done so, make sure you subscribe to his blog so as not to miss out on any of the action! Perhaps I’ll also be able to persuade James to share a few insights here on the DIABLOG - and who knows, maybe there might even be a free copy of his book in it for me? (hint, hint)
