Perhaps a huge coincidence but I pretty much wrote this framework in C# in 2004 (including rules engine) and was using it for mobile devices (wince/symbian). We abandoned it after 4 years for a simple CQRS system with event bus (before Udi/Greg went off on it or Fowler formalised it).
You know where we are now? Simple JSON REST API with local and remote queues per device updating a document store. All the queues have on receipt and on dispatch handlers attached and that is it. Each of these can modify the state or perform an external action.
YMMV but I'd probably start there first. It's much easier than the other two. I might write it up.
