TECHNOLOGIES USED IN MODELING

Last December, the Society of Actuaries held a conference whose focus was actuarial and financial modeling. During the course of that conference, one of the speakers mentioned a number of technologies his firm was using for modeling, which where either unfamiliar or only vaguely familiar to some of the audience. The purpose of this article is to define each of the technologies mentioned during that presentation and to briefly describe their distinguishing characteristics.
