Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0104822A2] A system and method for optimized decision-making for e-commerce. A system architecture for off-line, proactive decisions also supports performing simulations prior to deploying off-line or on-line decisions. There are four sections to the architecture: experiment design, which provides tools for creating and deploying experiments to test various combinations of decision values in preparation for modeling results; a model-building section provides tools for creating and deploying mathematical models whose purpose is to encapsulate data and results in a form that may be used to make future decisions; a decision-making section which provides tools for creating and deploying optimized decision answers; and a tracking section which provides tools for recording the results of experiments deployed in the experiment design section and the decisions deployed in the decision-making section. The system architecture for on-line, reactive decisions is a modification of the off-line system architecture. On-line applications are usually built to serve other purposes besides decision-making. Therefore, the decision-making process needs to be embedded in the applications. The transforms and rules may be built with the off-line system architecture then deployed to the on-line application. The combination of the off-line and on-line architectures may allow for building closed-loop systems. The off-line system architecture may be used to build a system for executing experiments and decisions. The on-line system architecture may be used to embed the experiment and decision execution in an on-line web application. The combination becomes closed-loop when the results may be captured and used to drive future decisions.
