subject: performance of rule-based systems

I am currently working on a methodology for defining the performance of
rule-based expert systems. I would like to discuss and to compare the
performance of different inference-strategies. To get comparable results
it seems to me important to classify and to evaluate different rule-
representations and to find a measure for specific rule-bases.
This measure should include attributes like complexity, granularity,
depth etc. A main goal of this work is to find a method for the
selection of the best representation and inference strategy for
a specific kind of rule-based knowledge. Is there anybody working on the
same object ? I would be thankful for hints, information and (or)
references.
