TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R (TERR) allows for real-time analytics using the R language within TIBCO's Complex Event Processing platforms. TERR provides a faster R engine that can be embedded in TIBCO products like Spotfire and CEP workflows. This enables rapid prototyping and deployment of predictive models to monitor real-time data streams and trigger automated actions. Example use cases discussed include predictive maintenance, customer loyalty analytics, and severe weather alert tracking.

Why?
• Why use the R language in real time applications?
– Breadth of analytics—more likely to find the “best” answer
– Ease of prototyping new analyses—rapidly respond to changing
opportunities and threats
 E.g., fraud detection of evolving threats
• Challenge
– Applying R quickly enough to keep up with real time events
– Enabling rapid iteration from prototyping to production

Components
• TIBCO Complex Event Processing (CEP)
– Fast Data Platforms from TIBCO
– TIBCO Streambase: graphical workflows representing real time data
streams
– TIBCO Business Events: complex rules-based event processing
• TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R
– Alternative R Language interpreter developed by TIBCO
– Generally faster, more memory-efficient than open-source R engine
– Based on longtime expertise with S+
– Freely available to R Community
– Embeddable in TIBCO Spotfire, CEP and 3rd party products
– Compatible with RStudio for development

• TERR powers real-time advanced analytics to “Fast Data” in
TIBCO Streambase and TIBCO Business Events
– When an event is identified, the CEP application can trigger:
 An automated business process (e.g., extend a mobile offer to a customer; stop a fraudulent
transaction in process)
 A Spotfire application or dashboard, marrying real-time event data with historical contextual
data, providing immediate root cause analytics (Spotfire Event Analytics)

Use Cases: TERR in CEP
Logistics Optimization
• Port Congestion Detection
– Real time system triggers TERR
– Analyzes port congestion
– Recommends reduction of speed if no berths
available
• Maritime Abnormality Detection
– Based on Automatic Identification System info,
TERR calculates likelihood of deviation from
normal sailing routes
– Alerts carrier & operator

Use Cases: TERR in CEP
Predictive Maintenance for Oil & Gas
• Oil & Gas Extraction
– Maintenance downtime and equipment
failures are costly
– Engineers track sensor data to find leading
indicators (e.g., temperature, vibration)
• Engineers usually use ad hoc rules on leading
indicators
– R/TERR used to develop predictive
models for preventative maintenance
– Deployed in real-time systems, alert
when maintenance recommended

Use Cases: TERR in CEP
Severe Weather Alerts Tracking for
Facilities
• Alert Facilities Managers to Severe
Weather Alerts
• Use TIBCO Streambase to monitor
alerts in real time
– TERR queries for current weather alerts
– Uses sp & rgdal package to compare
areas of alerts vs. facility locations
• On alert, update Spotfire visualization
with mapped alerts, notify Facilities
managers

Use Cases: TERR in CEP
Customer Loyalty Analytics
• Deliver real-time predictions on whether to
extend an offer to a given customer
• Apply predictive models in real-time decision
making
– Best marketing offer
– Customer churn
– Predictive Maintenance
– Yield optimization
• Rapidly develop and iterate TERR models in
production
– Respond to changing opportunities and
threats
