— Execute Rules in Controlled English —
AceRules is a rule system that uses Attempto Controlled English (ACE) to formalize the rules and facts. ACE is a controlled natural language, which means that it looks like natural English but is in fact completely formal. The goal of AceRules is to make formal rules understandable for everybody. People with no computer science background should be able to deal with AceRules. Visit the web interface or watch the demo video:
