You can tell a technology has matured when announcements of new versions major on phrases such as enterprise ready, scalability, operations management and audit trail and say little about any new base functions. That is an emphasis on operations rather than development.
On this basis ILOG JRules 6.0 can be considered the release that JRules has come of age. The history of JRules since 1997 has been a continuing move in this direction but the March 2006 release puts JRules firmly in the enterprise operational category.

1. BRForum 2005 Practitioners' Panel: The DOs and DON'Ts of
Business Rules
...............................................................
People who are starting a business rule project want to know how to "start smart!" They often ask what they should DO ... and what they DON'T want to do (what to watch out for). What has actually worke for the business rules approach? Six panelists at the 2005 Business Rules Forum conference answered these questions (and more) by sharing their project experiences.

2. Premise & Conclusion: How Rules and Processes Relate ~ Part 6.
Point-of-Knowledge Architecture (POKA), by Ronald G. Ross ...............................................................
The more granular the specifications for a system, the more adaptable
(agile) it will be. Specifications for rule-oriented process models
(scripts) in information/knowledge system design are highly granular and therefore highly adaptive. In this final column of a 6-part series (excerpted from the just-released second edition of Business Rule
Concepts: Getting to the Point of Knowledge), Ron Ross identifies some of the many ways in which scripts support granular specification including, but not limited to, level of enforcement for rules.

3. In Process: Best Practices of Process Management: The Top
Ten Principles (part 3), by Roger T. Burlton ...............................................................
Years of successful and not-so-successful process management experience have led to a set of best practices -- a number of fundamental principles that must be honored in order to optimize returns to the company, the delivery of business results to customers, and to satisfy the needs of the organization’s other stakeholders. In this series, Roger Burlton outlines the ten principles that underlie the methods of business process operation and change. In this month's column, he covers the 3rd principle.

5. In The Know: Wikipedia, Knowledge Capture, and Business Rules,
by Bonnie O'Neil
...............................................................
A common refrain heard from clients of the business rules approach is:
How do we get the information out of the business people's heads?
'Wikipedia' is an online encyclopedia, authored by the people -- anyone can contribute entries and edit anyone else's entries.
It can be an excellent information collection mechanism. In this month's column, Bonnie O'Neil introduces 'wikipedia' as a business
rules capture mechanism.
