Early in the 21st Century, the Tyrell Corporation advanced Robot evolution into the Nexus phase – a being virtually identical to a human – known as a Replicant. Replicants were used Off-world as slave labor. After a series of violent rebellions, their manufacture was prohibited and Tyrell Corp went bankrupt. The collapse of ecosystems in the mid 2020s led to the rise of industrialist Niander Wallace, whose mastery of synthetic farming averted famine. Wallace acquired the remains of Tyrell Corp and created a new line of Replicants who obeyed without question. One of the first of these, code-named LUV, was gifted by Wallace to the Los Angeles Police Force as the first Replicant Blade Runner, tasked with the capture and retirement of fugitive earlier models. A Replicant underground survives, led by the former combat model Freysa and her human partner Aahna Ashina, known as Ash, formerly the first-ever female Blade Runner. Ash has helped a young fugitive Replicant called Lexi to escape the city in return for an unusual payment. Meanwhile Luv has been sent by Niander Wallace to investigate the home of dead industrialist Alexander Selwyn in search of a supposed secret Replicant manufacturing lab…

Replicants are bioengineered humans, once designed by the Tyrell Corporation for use Off-world. After a series of violent rebellions, their manufacture was prohibited, and Tyrell Corp went bankrupt. Niander Wallace acquired the remains of Tyrell Corp and created a new line of Replicants who obey. A Replicant Underground survives, led by the former combat model Freysa and her human partner Aahna Ashina, known as Ash, formerly a Blade Runner. Twenty years ago, in 2019, Ash spared the Replicant Isobel Selwyn, a replica of industrialist Alexander Selwyn’s wife. Together with Alexander’s human daughter Cleo, Isobel escaped to the Off-world colonies. Searching for the late Alexander Selwyn’s research into Replicant physiology, Niander Wallace sent his creation Luv, the first Replicant Blade Runner, to hunt down both Cleo and Isobel. Believing that Isobel holds the secret to Replicant fertility, Wallace ordered Luv to capture the girl at any cost and to kill anyone who comes into contact with her. Ash discovered that a computer disc given to her by Alexander’s former Replicant bodyguard Hythe contained the information Wallace is looking for. Luv tracked them down, however Ash and Cleo managed to escape and set out to find Freysa, hoping she could help them locate Isobel. Luv returned to Wallace who introduced her to a new Replicant created from Ash’s DNA, codenamed ‘Rash’, and the two of them resumed the hunt for Ash and Cleo. Together with the runaway Replicant, Lexi, Ash and Cleo set off for San Francisco in an old pickup truck, but were attacked en route by a biker gang who shot and gravely injured Cleo…

This Redpaper introduces the integration between two IBM products that you might like to consider when implementing a modern agile solution on your Z systems. The document briefly introduces Operational Decision Manager on z/OS and Machine learning on z/OS. In the case of Machine Learning we focus on the aspect of real-time scoring models and how these can be used with Business Rules to give better decisions. Note: Important changes since this document was written: This document was written for an older release of Operational Decision Manager for z/OS (ODM for z/OS). ODM for z/OS 8.9.1 required the writing of custom Java code to access a Watson Machine Learning for z/OS Scoring Service (this can be seen in ). Since that time ODM for z/OS version 8.10.1 has been released and much improves the integration experience. Integrating the two products no longer requires custom Java code. Using ODM for z/OS 8.10.1 or later you can use an automated wizard in the ODM tooling to: Browse and select a model from Watson Machine Learning Import the Machine Learning data model into your rule project Automatically generate a template rule that integrates a call to the Watson Machine Learning scoring service Download and read this document for: Individual introductions to ODM for z/OS and Machine learning Discussions on the benefits of using the two technologies together Information on integrating if you have not yet updated to ODM for z/OS 8.10.1 For information about the machine learning integration in ODM for z/OS 8.10.1 see IBM Watson Machine Learning for z/OS integration topic in the ODM for z/OS 8.10.x Knowledge Center
