Accurately transforming data from complex business processes into usefulinformation requires the experience and expertise of knowledgeableprofessionals. In developing large-scale distributed applications,capturing that knowledge within rules and objects is much easier and moreintuitive than using a procedural high-level programming language. RTieexpert system builder and inference engine enables developers toeffectively represent knowledge and decisions quickly and reliably,enhancing the decision-making processes of the application.HIGH-SPEED RULE PROCESSINGRTie was designed specifically for time-critical applications. Itsunique capability of processing several thousand rules per second allowsRTie to analyze data from many different incoming data sources and makedecisions in a fraction of the time required by conventional expertsystems. As data rates scale up in number and complexity, additionalinference engines can be added to the application to increase performanceand reliability. NEW_PARAGRAPH TEMPORAL REASONING FOR RELIABLE DECISIONSImportant decisions are rarely left to chance. They are made based on acombination of current information and past experience. Expert systemsbuilt with RTie are no exception. RTie's unique capability to reasonabout information over time greatly enhances the decision-making process.Rules can be easily constructed that compare past data with current data,perform statistical calculations, and analyze trends. Impending problemscan be identified and avoided. Timers can also be used to verify controlactions and check events at some point in the future.Time-triggered rules are supported by RTie in addition to data-driven andgoal-driven rules. Time-triggered rules execute at set intervals,ensuring regular and continuous management of important information.RTie can dynamically switch among all three inferencing methods in orderto perform more sophisticated and reliable data analysis.INTUITIVE GRAPHICAL ENVIRONMENT SPEEDS DEVELOPMENTA Motif-based graphical environment enables the developer to build aknowledge base through an easy-to-use point-and-click interface. Itconsists of a set of context-sensitive forms and windows for creating andediting classes, objects, rules, and other components. Developers moreproficient with UNIX can use their editor of choice to construct theclasses, objects, and rules that comprise the knowledge base.The environment also includes invaluable debugging tools which furtherspeed development. Graphical browsers provide developers with a visualstructure of their knowledge base, making it easier to debug and maintainthe application. Separate windows to watch incoming messages, specificrules, and the rule queue can be viewed to gain additional insight duringapplication execution.
