The present disclosure describes a system, method, and computer program for real-time and computationally efficient calculation of a recommended value range for a quote variable, such as price, discount, volume, or closing time. The system uses the highest-density interval (HDI) of probability density function (PDF) as a recommended or suggested value range for a quote variable. PDFs for the quote variable are precomputed for groups of related inputs, and each PDF is summarized as an array of discrete points. A dimension reduction technique is applied to the PDF inputs in both the training and real-time (non-training) phases to reduce the number of possible combinations of PDFs. During a quote-creation process, a PDF look-up table enables the system to efficiently identify an applicable PDF from the group of precomputed PDFs based on reduced input values.

Real-time and computationally efficient prediction of values for a quote variable in a pricing application

A software development platform comprising one or more user-selectable modular units containing a vertical stack of back-end business logic. One or more user-selectable modular units containing domain model components. One or more user-selectable modular units containing front end presentation components. A virtual appliance comprising application-specific logic that includes one or more of the modular units containing the vertical stack of back-end business logic, one or more of the user-selectable modular units containing the domain model components and one or more of the user-selectable modular units containing front end presentation components.

Agile framework for vertical application development and delivery

A system for performing an ad hoc query comprising a query service operating on a processor and configured to receive an ad hoc query in a domain-specific language. A query parsing service operating on the processor and configured to receive a validate request and a parse request from the query service and to return a query object to the query service. A queryable interface operating on the processor and configured to receive the query object and to transmit the query object to one or more framework services for execution. New domain key words can be introduced dynamically and matched to registered queryable services to process queries containing those key words.

Expandable ad hoc domain specific query for system management

A system for deploying an application comprising a resource bundle configured to provide resource data for the application. A workflow bundle configured to provide workflow data for the application. A workload model bundle configured to provide workload model data for the application. A resource model bundle configured to provide resource model data for the application and a bundle listener configured to listen for the resource data, the workflow data, the workload model data and the resource model data for the application and to instantiate a model service.
