Decision Automation with DMN and other open standards, by Matteo Mortari

Decision Automation with DMN and other open standards

About this talk: Decision Management is an important pillar of Business Automation and a key aspect of all Digital Transformation initiatives. DMN as an open standard is a very effective enabler of decision management both from a methodological but also pragmatic perspective, since the execution semantic is defined in the specification itself. We will see how DMN can be a great support from the very beginning of the requirement analysis activities, up to the actual deployment and execution. We will delve into some key aspects of DMN in order to understand their characteristics, their advantages and limitations, and their best application in a cloud-native context too!

Speaker: Matteo Mortari, Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat

About Matteo: He contributes to the DMN execution engine used in Drools, Kogito and Red Hat Process Automation suite. He believes there is a whole new range of unexplored applications for Expert Systems (AI) within the Corporate business; additionally, believes that defining the Business Rules on the BRMS system not only enables knowledge inference from raw data but, most importantly, helps to shorten the distance between experts and analysts, between developers and end-users, business stakeholders.
