I am afraid I cannot help you much with reference material. Maybe someone else would be interested in chiming in.
As far as Blaze Advisor and its relation to the Fabric, we were able to incorporate the Blaze Advisor demo app into a task, and run it as a fabric application.

Blaze is Java based rules engine sold by Fair Isaac. I haven't seen any public material on programming it but it has it's own development GUI which looks somewhat like Eclipse. Blaze is one of the fastest rules engines around - it uses the patented Rete III algorithm that Dr. Charles Fogey invented. You can generically learn rules engines by doing a Google search for "Drools" - a heavily used open source rules engine or JRules.

Blaze is very expensive per developer. It's solid and has great support.

Thank you both for your comments. Is anyone aware of any performance issues with Blaze?

As mentioned by bobwilmes, Blaze is known for its high performance. Having a high performance rules algorithm in Blaze Advisor ensures that you'll be able to get the most throughput out of each server. Deploying your Blaze application in a fabric allows you to easily scale beyond the confines of a single server.
