Fig. 12.18 RDE server with modules and XELOPES
Note the split between analysis algorithms and business logic. All prudsys
analysis algorithms are provided through the XELOPES library.
All data is specified by means of the flexible CWM, allowing the number of
agent methods to be kept to a minimum. The realtime analytics algorithms are then
divided into packages such as recommendations, pricing, and planning, all of which
ultimately derive from the agent class.
The RDE server then runs on the XELOPES library as a container which
implements the business logic. It is possible for multiple instances of recommen-
dation engines to run on a single application server; distributed RE applications are
supported in particular. Configuration and administration are carried out via an
easy-to-use GUI. The RDE offers numerous options for defining business con-
straints and delivers realtime statistics, particularly for A/B testing.
12.4 Summary
The aim of this chapter was to provide some ideas of implementing the adaptive
algorithms described in this topic based on the XELOPES library for BI. We started
with the very abstract CWM standard and then considered its application to data
