Abstract:

Presently within the software industry their exists a genre with the label of Business Process Modeling or BPM, which is an attempt to create a generic framework for modeling workflow processes. Further, SAS with Enterprise Miner, SPSS with the Clementine product, and others have introduced a process driven approach focusing more on statistical applications. When we scan the open source landscape, there presently did not exist an enterprise capable analytics solution that leverages these BPM concepts. R as a statistical language is extremely robust, we feel R coupled with an enterprise quality open source BPM engine and visual client that can be used to model, persistent and schedule analytics workflows, this combination would elevate R into many new and unique applications. Purpose of our talk is to discuss our solution and release the open source codebase to the community.
