Silvie Spreeuwenburg of LibRT came up after lunch to talk about a rules-based approach to traffic management. Traffic management is a rapidly changing area, of course, thanks to IoT and self-driving cars among others. When one is considering traffic, there are many stakeholders. Not just the road user, also businesses reliant on road transport, safety [...]

Little bit of  a late start for me so I am starting with Geoffrey De Smet from Red Hat talking about constraint planning. He points out that some decisions cannot be easily solved with rules-based approaches – they can be described as decision (and as a DMN decision model in our experience) but not readily [...]

Bastian Steinart of Signavio came up after the break. Like Jan and I, he focused on their experience with DMN on Decision Management projects and the need for additional concepts. Better support for handling lists and sets, handling iteration and multiplicity for instance is also something they find essential. They have developed some extensions to [...]

After yesterday’s pre-conference day on DMN, the main program started today. All the slide decks are all available on the DecisionCAMP site. Edson Tirelli started things off with a session to demystify the DMN specification. DMN does not invent anything, he says, but takes some of these concepts and defines a common language to express [...]

The first day at Decision CAMP 2017 is focused explicitly on the Decision Model and Notation (DMN) standard. Alan Fish introduced the ongoing work on 1.2. He quickly summarizes the new features in 1.1 – such as text annotations and a formal definition of a decision service. Then he went through the new features, starting [...]

DecisionCAMP 2017 is coming up July 11-14, 2017 at Birkbeck College, University of London. This is going to be a great opportunity to learn about decision modeling, the Decision Model and Notation (DMN) standard and related topics. In fact the week is full of great things to do if you are in London or can [...]

I am presenting at DecisionCAMP 2017 – The Role of Decision Models in Analytic Excellence – at 11:25am, Thursday July 14 Organizations are increasingly investing in data analytics to improve decision-making. Dashboards, self-service BI, data mining, predictive analytics, machine learning and cognitive technologies are being evaluated, deployed and used as organizations push to adopt data-driven [...]

I am co-presenting with Jan Purchase at DecisionCAMP 2017 – Mind the Gap-Lessons Learned in the Application of DMN to Large Projects – at 10:15am, Thursday July 13 Since the release of DMN 1.1 by the OMG in 2015, a growing number of organisations have sought to use it to model their key business decisions.
