Linux-like command line interface to VOR Stream, intended for
implementors and developers
Control Group
A collection of control tables containing slow-changing parameters
that govern a waterway/end-to-end process. Control groups can be
imported from spreadsheets onto the workbench.
Draw
Draw=simulation replication=dice roll. It is a reference to gambling
and a common term an observation in a simulation.
Dynamic reports (dashboards)
Result sets from waterways/end-to-end processes that can be queried
through Power BI or another BI tool.
Fact
Any data that is deemed important to share with other nodes.
Field
A data element/variable in a queue.
Framework
A collection of statistical models and the conditions/filters on
their execution.
ISO Date Format
YYYY-MM-DD or YYYYMMDD.
ISO Datetime Format
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sss or YYYYMMDDThhmmss.sss.
Key
A unique value used to locate a record in a table.
Keyed off
Referenced through a key.
Marshalling
The process of converting a machine dependent form of data to an
independent form that can be serialized and sent to another machine
or process.
Methodology
A collection of frameworks and the conditions/filters on their
execution that can be included in studies.
Model
A closed-form statistical model that can be maintained independently
from and embedded in streams.
Model Reservoir
Module on the workbench where statistical models can be registered,
documented, and unit and performance tested. Can also be stand-alone.
nil
Representation of an undefined pointer in Golang.
Node
A logic component that performs a specific task on a queue such as
loading data into memory from file/database, writing results from
memory to file/database, or a computational operation articulated
in SQL, Python, Go, or SAS.
Playpen
Distinct workspace within VOR Stream. Can be private or public.
Process (sub)
A computational process that forms a (part of a) stream.
Queue
A data observation held in memory.
REST
A stateless HTTP communication methodology.
Scenario Builder
Module on the workbench where scenarios can be built or modified.
Scenarios
A spreadsheet containing forecasted values of macroeconomic variables.
Can be uploaded to the workbench and included in studies.
Stream
A coded object that consists of (sub) processes, nodes, and queues.
Streams can be built in the CLI, and attached to studies on the
workbench.
Strongly typed
Strict variable type rules checked at compile time.
Study
A central object that combines streams, portfolios, scenarios,
methodologies, and reports to form a waterway/end-to-end process
that can be built and submitted by the business user from the
workbench.
Thread
A thread is independent execution of sequential instructions within
a program. Threads allow for parallel processing.
Unmarshalling
Returns a serialized version of data back into a machine dependent form.
VOR Platform
Cloud-based risk analytics environment.
VOR Stream
The risk engine of the VOR Platform.
Waterway
A collection of workbench objects to support a specific business
process, such as IFRS 9, CECL, or Value-at-Risk.
Workbench
Web-based graphical interface to VOR Stream, intended for business
users.
