Business Decision Modeling with OpenRules: How to Develop Operational Decision Services using OpenRules Decision Intelligence Platform

Business Decision Modeling is one of the major technological approaches that support decision-making processes across a wide range of business problems from loan origination and insurance underwriting to clinical guidelines and product recommendations. Business decision modeling is oriented to subject matter experts who build and maintain operational decision services incorporated into modern enterprise architectures. This book explains how to create and maintain business decision models and deploy them as operational decision services in a step-by-step, easy-to-understand style. It consists of a series of dialog sessions in which an AUTHOR explains major concepts, a READER asks questions, and together they build the proper decision models. Starting with a simple decision model, you will learn how to represent more complex decision logic using practical examples. The book is accompanied by a free evaluation version of the popular Decision Intelligence Platform commonly known as “OpenRules” (http://openrules.com). Thus, together with a READER you can build, test, debug, and deploy decision models as you proceed from session to session. You will end up with a deep understanding of practical decision-modeling techniques. You will learn how to apply Business Rules, Machine Learning, and Optimization tools to build your domain-specific decision models.
