What is G2

• 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.

From AI to Expert Systems to Business Rules
Engines

• 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.

G2 Gensym Programming

• 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 DNA-Decision Now Architecture

• 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.

Why use it?

• 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

12
Why use it?

• For application builders, G2 cuts project risks
  by
• Embracing an iterative, Xtreme Consulting methodol
  ogy 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

13

• 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,
