Data warehouse VS Active data warehouse

WAQ28Nov 12 2010 — edited Dec 1 2010

Hi,
I was reading about active data warehousing (ADW) in a book, which says, that ADW is featured by "event-driven actions". ADW supports near-time or near-real-time decision making. eg a retail store may get to know that they are running short of some items and need to place an order.
It means that ADW is also use for controlling inventories, just like OLTP systems. This point is bit confusing for me because as per my knowledge datawarehouse is meant for decision making.
Any comments/suggestions.
