Abstract: Rule engine is a technology which owns a very broad application prospects. First introduced its concept and function, also the application background of the system. Then mainly introduced the working mechanism of rules engine and the RISES. Finally, used the drools to solve the realisation of the rule engine based on the logistics system, and then discussed the advantage and the disadvantage about the rule engine, also concerned on the future development of this technology.

Key words: Rule engine, Drools, REhE algorithm, Logistics information platform
