Initiated by the declarative networking project, rule-based declarative programming languages have gained increasing popularity in building complex networked systems across multiple application domains. This paper investigates the declarativity of those systems. First, by analyzing the language semantics, we classify rules into deductive rules and Event-Condition-Action (ECA) rules, and reveal their different levels of declarativities. Then, we use case studies to show that ECA rules that are less declarative are dominantly used in most of the proposed systems. As a result, the benefit of declarative programming is undermined. We identify the key factors that cause the low declarativity effect, and present our ongoing work towards addressing those challenges.
