<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does Drools support "what-if"
analysis?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For example, I have the data for the sales done by
a salesman for the past one year. There is a commission available to the
salesman for the same he is doing. I use the data to plot a graph showing the
efficiency of all salesmen in my company.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Assume that the comany wants a profit of , say, 10%
more than what currently is, I mean "what if the comany wants more revenue",
what should be the values for sales. It is a trivial example, but just enough
for understanding my query - can we use Drools for this? Is it being used in
financial inductry where derivatives etc are used widely?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks and regards,</FONT></DIV>
