Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a shared architecture is created to facilitate analytics across multiple research domains, then adaptability and versatility are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoidcomplexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal command and control framework that can execute analytic workflows across multiple diverse analytics computing environments. The system uses a standardized interface layer that translates domain-specific requests into environment-specific commands, allowing one system to perform multiple functions across different research domains while maintaining a consistent user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary command and control framework that sits between the user and multiple analytics computing environments. This mediator translates high-level workflow definitions into environment-specific execution commands, handling protocol conversions and environment-specific requirements without exposing complexity to the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If native access requests are generated for different analytics computing environments, then adaptability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The command and control framework automatically generates the appropriate native access requests for each analytics computing environment based on the workflow definition. The system self-adapts to different environments by selecting and configuring the correct protocols and parameters without requiring manual intervention from the operator.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The framework acts as an intermediary that handles the complexity of generating environment-specific access requests. It translates a single unified workflow definition into multiple environment-appropriate requests, shielding the user from the operational complexity of dealing with different protocols and environment requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If data is extracted and stored from vast amounts of information, then productivity is improved, but reliability of derivation worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveproductivityVSAvoidreliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms that track and verify data extraction and storage processes. The system monitors the derivation chain from raw information to extracted knowledge, enabling validation of each transformation step and ensuring that productivity gains do not compromise the reliability of the derived information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method, and computer program product are disclosed for a cross-cloud orchestration of data analytics. A system operates by receiving one or more command and control (C&C) requests to execute one or more analytic applications of a workflow. The workflow includes the analytic applications for execution. The system further operates by generating one or more native access requests to execute the analytic applications at one or more analytics computing environments, and transmitting one or more native access requests to the analytics computing environments, wherein at least two native access requests are configured for different access protocol.
