Libraries do something they call "name authority control". For most people in IT, this would be called "assigning unique identifiers to names." Identifying authors is considered one of the essential aspects of library cataloging, and it isn't done in any other bibliographic environment, as far as I know.
Substitute a standard web services interface for a speaking tube, a business rules management system for his encyclopedic knowledge of policies and regulations, data mining or predictive analytics for his customer knowledge and adaptive control for his experimentation and you have Decision Management. The Answerer but on an industrial scale.
Rob sees three key areas where rules can help:
Tighter warranty controls
Claims processing is improved because financial limits, detailed coverage types, materials return and more can be automated and rapidly changed when necessary. The rules also allow “what-if” testing and impact analysis.
Better built vehicles
The decision making is tracked very closely thanks to rules so you can analyze specific repair types, specific VINs and so on. More effective parts return and generally better information also contribute.
Lower cost repairs
Rules allow goodwill repairs, labor-only repairs and specific kinds of repairs to be managed very precisely. Rules-driven decisioning can reduce the variation of costs between dealers and help intervene, rejecting or editing claims that seem overly expensive. The ability of rules to deploy data mining and predictive analytics can also really help here.
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a food crop with tuberous roots that plays an important role in feeding populations. The need to control cassava pests led to testing the effect of the biopesticide NECO 50 EC on Phenacoccus manihoti in a plot of the city of Grand-Lahou. The effectiveness of the biopesticide NECO 50 EC was tested on larvae and adults of P. manihoti, in comparison with a conventional insecticide K-OPTIMAL 35 EC. Dilutions gave 5 respective concentrations of NECO 50 EC: 8.33 g/l; 4.54g/l; 3.12g/l; 2.38 g/l and 1.92 g/l, and a concentration of 0.093 g/l for the control insecticide. Spraying of cassava plants infested with mealybugs was undertaken and observations were made 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after treatment. On the larvae, the highest rate (92.07 ± 0%) is obtained at a concentration of 8.33 g/l for NECO and 98.51% for the control insecticide. In adults for NECO the highest rate (62.50 ± 0%) is obtained at the concentration of 8.33 g/l and 96.17% for the control insecticide. The biopesticide NECO 50 EC could be used as an alternative to the excessive use of synthetic insecticides to reduce the damage of the pest P. manihoti.
Within a single bacterial cell, genes are reversibly induced and repressed by transcriptional control in order to adjust the cell’s enzymatic machinery to its immediate nutritional and physical environment. Single-celled eukaryotes, such as yeasts, also possess many genes that are controlled in response to environmental variables (e.g., nutritional status, oxygen tension, and temperature). Even in the organs of higher animals — for example, the mammalian liver — some genes can respond reversibly to external stimuli such as noxious chemicals. In general, however, metazoan cells are protected from immediate outside influences; that is, most cells in metazoans experience a fairly constant environment. Perhaps for this reason, genes that respond to environmental changes constitute a much smaller fraction of the total number of genes in multicellular organisms than in single-celled organisms.
