G2®: Real-Time Business Rules Engine (BRE) for Mission-Critical Applications

The G2 platform uniquely combines real-time reasoning technologies, including rules, workflows, procedures, object modeling, simulation, and graphics, in a single development and deployment environment. 

G2 transforms real-time operations data into automated decisions and actions, all in real time.  G2 applications work in concert with existing operational systems, including enterprise systems, databases, automation systems, data historians, network management systems, telemetry systems, and many more.  With G2, application builders can use Gensym's  Xtreme Consulting methodology to rapidly design using prototyping and simulation, develop iteratively, deploy, and continuously adapt their reasoning-driven solutions.G2 is the BRE platform of choice for a wide variety of real-time, mission-critical solutions offered by Gensym's expanding network of OEM, VAR, SI, and Guru partners.

What is G2

Today's business rule engines evolved from artificial intelligence (AI) and expert system technologies.  Business rule engines, which apply decision-making logic, enable automation of activities that have historically required the direct attention of human specialists.  Since 1988, Gensym has extended the AI and expert system roots of G2 into the world's leading business rules engine platform for real-time, mission-critical operations.  G2 has been proven time and again for the most demanding applications that emulate the real-time reasoning power of human experts as they assess, diagnose, and respond to unusual operating situations or as they seek to optimize operations.

From AI to Expert Systems to Business Rules Engines

G2 Gensym Programming leverages the unique extreme programming capabilities of the G2 real-time rule engine platform.  G2 empowers developers with the ability to define, validate, deploy, and continuously improve applications within a single environment.  With G2 Gensym Programming, application developers tightly control project scope and results by rapidly planning, continuously assessing progress, and adapting rule-based logic on the fly without stopping to compile or relink.  All phases of development are extremely iterative, rapid, and agile - for instance first prototypes are usually up and running within days.Gensym's G2 Gensym Programming achieves results by:

Assessing detailed user feedback at each step Allowing for logic changes whenever needed Intensely iterating with many deliveries Writing tests before coding Building prototypes and running simulations within days Encouraging self organization of development teams Documenting the why of the code - not just the what

G2 ReThink for Rule-Driven Business Process Management

DNA structures the logic of rule-driven, real-time decision management applications. 

With G2 DNA, application builders architect their G2 solutions to deliver the following functionality:

Detect - Detection of a real-time operational process event Diagnose - From an event, a diagnosis of the situation

assesses the root cause, severity, and impact of potential problems. s

Respond - For problems with costly impacts, reaching a timely decision for the appropriate response is critical. 

Model - Decision logic and decision making is all enabled by rich object-oriented models that encompass both the operational process and the underlying rule logic.  G2GL

Optimize - Through the combination of real-time rule logic and optimization, G2 makes online, real-time optimization practical.

DECISION ARCHITECTURE

The G2 PLATFORM (BRE)

• G2 delivers competitive advantage through smarter real-time operational decisions and by cutting application project risks.

For real-time, mission-critical operations, G2 applications:

• Maximize performance through smarter decisions that increase throughput, quality, and efficiency

• Improve availability of assets and services by proactively detecting and resolving problems

• Increase operational agility through better coordination and scheduling of activities

• Increase application agility through immediate, real-time updating of application logic

• Improve decision making through dynamic modeling and simulation of alternative operational configurations and decision logic

Why use it?

For application builders, G2 cuts project risks by:• Embracing an iterative, Xtreme Consulting methodology that

yields rapid prototypes and short times-to-completion of deployed applications

• Boosting developer productivity vs. traditional programming through its comprehensive development and deployment environment and its non-stop coding, which applies all logic changes immediately in real time

• Readily integrating and embedding with real-time operational systems through high-performance APIs and off-the-shelf drivers that support the most common IT standards

• Improving application quality by testing logic prior to deployment through simulation

• Protecting application investments through support of Windows, UNIX, and Linux operating systems and a tradition of forward compatibility

Why use it?

G2 is a powerful platform for

original equipment manufacturers (OEMs),

value-added resellers (VARs),

system integrators (SIs).

consultants, and end users. Using G2, organizations:

• Rapidly prototype solutions with end users

• Achieve faster time-to-completion of projects

• Work with smaller development teams

• Lower software-maintenance costs

• More easily integrate with enterprise systems, applications, and databases

• Quickly port across Windows, UNIX, and Linux systems

BOOST DEVELOPER PRODUCTIVITY

Powerful Real-Time Technology G2's rules, procedures, and object models all work efficiently in real time to enable rapid execution of operational decisions and actions.

Standards-based Integration and Embeddability G2's rule-engine logic, objects, data structures and UI readily integrate with operational systems and embed within third-party applications through support of standards including ActiveX/COM, .NET, Java RMI, SQL, ODBC, JMS, OPC, XML, HTTP, and others.

Dynamic Modeling and SimulationG2 dynamically models and simulates systems and processes for “what-if” analysis of alternative operational designs and real-time rule logic.  Simulations can be run online to detect problems by comparing theoretical to actual conditions.  And by testing applications in simulation mode prior to deployment, developers ensure application quality by finding and resolving problems before going online.

Flexible Deployment across Operating Systems G2 runs on Microsoft Windows NT/2000/2003/XP, Red Hat Linux and Linux Enterprise, Sun Solaris SPARC, IBM AIX, HP-UX, and Compaq Tru64 UNIX.  G2 applications are immediately portable across each of these operating systems.

Features 

Intuitive User Interface G2's highly interactive, graphical, and intuitive user interface is seamlessly integrated into the G2 environment to simplify prototyping, development, and online deployment of solutions.

Productive Development Environment G2's comprehensive software environment enables high levels of developer productivity versus traditional programming. The environment features intuitive graphical, object-oriented modeling; understandable natural language rules; generic rule-based and procedural logic; built-in understanding of time; immediate programming changes without stopping to compile or relink code; and numerous developer tools and utilities.

Features

Prediction and control – Accurately predict and control difficult-to-measure process variables, such as quality or consumption, to eliminate costly decision delays and remove dependence on hardware-based measurements.

Process optimization – Determine optimal settings for achieving quality and process targets based on economic objectives within hard and soft constraints.

Sensor validation – Compare soft-sensor values to hardware sensor values to guide operators when sensors drift or fail.

Sensor backup – When hardware sensors fail, use predicted values to maintain operations.

Process knowledge – Analyze model sensitivities to gain new insights into the true significance of each process variable.
