| /n |
well-loved prefix attached to a transaction number in R/3 when addressing it directly (as opposed to navigating the menu hierarchy)
see transaction.
|
| AI |
Artificial Intelligence.
An area of informatics concerned with problems too challenging for other areas of informatics.
|
| ATMS |
Assumption-based TMS.
[DeKleer86] A better TMS that remembers and administrates the assumptions made during the inference of new propositions.
|
| attotw |
at the time of this writing
|
| BOM |
Bill-Of-Materials.
Key datastructure of ERP systems used to define (nested) product structures.
|
| CBASE |
configuration base
Central database table in the R/3 system; used, since release 4.5, to store configurations.
|
| CBR |
Case-Based Reasoning.
AI sub-discipline closely related to ML that treats examples as cases and compares cases based on similarity metrics.
|
| CRM |
Customer Relationship Management
|
| ERP |
Enterprise Resource Planning.
ERP systems are mind-bogglingly large conglomerations of software used by large companies to administer -- in the extreme case -- all aspects of their business.
|
| FOL |
First Order Logic.
aka first order predicate calculus. Often used synonymously with Horn logic, the theoretical fundament of the programming language Prolog.
|
| FTGAASS |
Full-Throttle Geek Acronyms And SAP-Speak-isms
|
| IDE |
Integrated Development Environment.
|
| ILP |
Inductive Logic Programming.
ML in FOL.
|
| IPC |
Internet Pricing and Configurator [sic, unfortunately].
A Java-servlet wrapper around the SCE and the SPE that allows integration of VC-compliant configuration functionality with a webserver.
|
| KB |
Knowledge Base.
AI datastructure that encodes all the statements and rules valid in a logical theory.
|
| KEE |
Knowledge Engineering Environment.
Grandfather of all AI-oriented software IDEs; had its heyday in the mid- to late 1980s.
|
| material variant |
type of R/3 datastructure, technically a configurable material with a definite value for each characteristic. Conceptually a saved complete and correct configuration state.
|
| ML |
Machine Learning.
AI sub-discipline concerned with generalizing from examples, usually by way of induction.
|
| MM |
Materials Management
|
| Mobal |
Model Based Learning.
Second (third?) generation AI IDE based on a FOL rather than PL representation.
|
| PL |
Propositional Logic.
aka zeroth-order logic aka zeroth-order predicate calculus aka attribute/value logic. The most common form of representation used in the second (third?) heydey of AI in the 1980s.
|
| PP |
Production Planning
|
| R/3 |
SAP ERP system, Release 3
(not to be confused with the releases of R/3 itself, which have names like 3.1H and 4.6C)
|
| RDBMS |
relation database management system
|
| SAP |
Systems, Applications, Programs
Fourth-largest (attotw) software company in the world.
|
| SCE |
Sales Configuration Engine.
SAP product implemented in Java, understands the same modeling language as the VC, but can be used independantly of R/3, e.g. on a laptop or connected to a webserver.
|
| SD |
Sales & Distribution
|
| SPE |
Sales Pricing Engine.
Younger brother of the SCE that allows R/3-compliant pricing of R/3-compliant orders, while independant of R/3, e.g. on a laptop or in a webserver.
|
| TMS |
Truth-Maintenance System.
AI algorithm that controls and administrates the truth values of statements, or propositions, or facts, in a logical system. Closely tied to the inference engine that generates new facts from known facts based on the rules of the theory.
|
| transaction |
Context of interaction with an RDBMS-based ERP system such as SAP R/3.
An ERP system guarantees transactional integrity at runtime, meaning that if user A is inside a transaction editing datum X, then no other user will be allowed to modify X at the same time. Any datum associated with a transaction is "checked out" when A enters the transaction, and "checked back in" when A leaves. Such data will be "locked" for any user B during this period.
|
| VC |
Variant Configurator.
The configurator inside the SAP R/3 ERP system, integrated with all other aspects of the supply ruver (CRM, SD, MM, PP, the classification system)
|
|
| |
| A(C) |
attributes of a class
|
| A(X) |
attributes of a configuration
The set of attributes in the current configuration. More technically, the set of attributes of the class of which the current configuration is an instance.
|
| a |
attribute
An attribute (feature, property, characteristic) of a configuration.
|
| range(a,S(X)) |
range of an attribute
The set of values that an attribute can legally take in the current state of the configuration.
|
| S(X) |
state of a configuration
A set of attribute/range pairs decribing what values each attribute can legally take in the current state
