Either, the analysis could be performed at the application level, or by an analysis engine.

Re: Fraud detection system

Dos these rules should be implemented at application level or it could be
done afterwards based on "powerfull" data analysis engine?

Yes, you have to come up with some rules, but it could be implemented in a
manner that collects all anomalies and analyses that data. And as Greg
says, it depends on the context.

What you might consider to be fraudulent for one user you might let
another user get away with (within limits).

Re: Fraud detection system

Hello,
i m avare about this project ans we havé starter its implémentation in

our

applications.
However, it s not like intelligent system which analisis behaviors. It
requires some programmation each time we would like to detect new

patterns

and scenarion? Right? Am i wrong?

However, the idea of the project is very good ;)

If your application can assess a user's behaviour, it could also make
decisions on business-rules concerning attempted fraud, or signal
information that might be of use to external fraud analysis engines

which

often do not know the context of a suspicious event.

I contribute some effort to OWASP's AppSensor project, which provides

some

ideas along these lines:

Hello,

I'm wondering if there are some stuffs to do at application level to
increvable efficuency of fraud detection system?

Thanks
