Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual cloud platform selection is performed by user, then selection accuracy can be ensured, but selection efficiency is low and labor costs are high
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically evaluates paths and selects cloud platforms based on service information without requiring manual user intervention. The network management device performs self-service by autonomously completing the cloud platform selection process, thereby improving efficiency while maintaining accuracy through automated evaluation criteria.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an automated evaluation mechanism as an intermediary between the user's service requirements and the cloud platform selection. This intermediary automatically assesses path requirements and matches them with suitable cloud platforms, eliminating the need for direct manual selection while ensuring accurate matching.
2Productivity
If automated cloud platform recommendation is implemented, then selection efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The automated selection system is segmented into distinct functional modules: service information acquisition, path requirement evaluation, and cloud platform recommendation. Each module handles a specific aspect of the selection process, making the overall complex system manageable through modular design while maintaining high automation efficiency.
3Measurement precision
If path requirement evaluation is performed for each access device, then selection accuracy is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary evaluation of path requirements by pre-assessing network paths and their capabilities before final cloud platform selection. This preliminary action allows the system to quickly filter suitable platforms without performing complete evaluations for every possible option, thereby maintaining accuracy while reducing processing time.
