Why?

• Why use the R language in real time applications?

– Breadth of analytics—more likely to find the “best” answer

– Ease of prototyping new analyses—rapidly respond to changing

opportunities and threats

E.g., fraud detection of evolving threats

• Challenge

– Applying R quickly enough to keep up with real time events

– Enabling rapid iteration from prototyping to production

Components

• TIBCO Complex Event Processing (CEP)

– Fast Data Platforms from TIBCO

– TIBCO Streambase: graphical workflows representing real time data

streams

– TIBCO Business Events: complex rules-based event processing

• TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R

– Alternative R Language interpreter developed by TIBCO

– Generally faster, more memory-efficient than open-source R engine

– Based on longtime expertise with S+

– Freely available to R Community

– Embeddable in TIBCO Spotfire, CEP and 3rd party products

– Compatible with RStudio for development


• TERR powers real-time advanced analytics to “Fast Data” in

TIBCO Streambase and TIBCO Business Events

– When an event is identified, the CEP application can trigger: An automated business process (e.g., extend a mobile offer to a customer; stop a fraudulent

transaction in process)

A Spotfire application or dashboard, marrying real-time event data with historical contextual

data, providing immediate root cause analytics (Spotfire Event Analytics)

Use Cases: TERR in CEP

Logistics Optimization

• Port Congestion Detection

– Real time system triggers TERR

– Analyzes port congestion

– Recommends reduction of speed if no berths

available

• Maritime Abnormality Detection

– Based on Automatic Identification System info,

TERR calculates likelihood of deviation from

normal sailing routes

– Alerts carrier & operator




Predictive Maintenance for Oil & Gas

• Oil & Gas Extraction

– Maintenance downtime and equipment

failures are costly

– Engineers track sensor data to find leading

indicators (e.g., temperature, vibration)

• Engineers usually use ad hoc rules on leading

indicators

– R/TERR used to develop predictive

models for preventative maintenance

– Deployed in real-time systems, alert

when maintenance recommended




Severe Weather Alerts Tracking for

Facilities

• Alert Facilities Managers to Severe

Weather Alerts

• Use TIBCO Streambase to monitor

alerts in real time

– TERR queries for current weather alerts

– Uses sp & rgdal package to compare

areas of alerts vs. facility locations

• On alert, update Spotfire visualization

with mapped alerts, notify Facilities

managers




Customer Loyalty Analytics

• Deliver real-time predictions on whether to

extend an offer to a given customer

• Apply predictive models in real-time decision

making

– Best marketing offer

– Customer churn

– Predictive Maintenance

– Yield optimization

• Rapidly develop and iterate TERR models in

production

– Respond to changing opportunities and

threats
