Cross-Domain System Configuration Using Resource-Aware Design Agents
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information communication technology (ICT) systems are complex and difficult to quickly provision or modify, especially when resources across multiple domains are involved, as different administrators manage these domains, leading to challenges in designing systems that consider dynamic resource conditions.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that enables system design across multiple domains by acquiring and generating system configuration information from multiple authority ranges, allowing different administrators to collaborate and consider resource situations dynamically.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a single administrator determines all system configuration based on a single requirement, then a single system configuration can be generated that satisfies the requirement, but it becomes difficult to appropriately design a system that extends across multiple domains administered by different administrators
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the system design process into multiple independent design agents, each responsible for a specific domain (service domain, cloud domain, network domain). Each design agent generates system configuration information for its own domain based on requirements, allowing parallel development while maintaining overall system coherence through a management device that coordinates between domains.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a designer designs a system utilizing resources of other domains without detailed authority, then the system can be constructed across domains, but the designer cannot appropriately take into consideration the dynamic resource situations of other domains
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where each design agent receives system requirement information from the management device, generates domain-specific configuration information, and returns it for integration. This closed-loop process ensures that dynamic resource situations in each domain are continuously considered and reflected in the overall system configuration, with the management device coordinating to balance resource allocation across domains.
3Device complexity
If system design assumes static resource conditions, then design process is simplified, but it fails to account for dynamic changes in resource availability due to other users or impairment events
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic elements into the system design process by enabling design agents to receive and respond to changing system requirement information that reflects current resource availability. The management device coordinates between domains to account for dynamic resource situations, allowing the system configuration to adapt to changing conditions while maintaining a structured design process through standardized information exchange protocols.
