Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a static roadmap is used to indicate how and with which data sources to communicate, then the system structure is simple and easy to implement, but the system lacks adaptability when data sources change or new requirements arise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static roadmap into a dynamic pipeline that can be automatically generated and revised. The system now creates executable pipelines on-demand based on current data source availability and requirements, allowing the architecture to adapt without manual intervention while maintaining manageable complexity through automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining data source configurations, communication protocols, and analysis templates. When a new request arrives, these pre-configured elements are automatically assembled into a functional pipeline, enabling rapid adaptation without creating complexity from scratch.
2Reliability
If manual classification, verification, or revision of the roadmap is performed to update it, then the roadmap can be kept accurate, but the process becomes time-consuming and requires high computing resources
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically generating, validating, and revising pipelines without human intervention. The automated pipeline generator analyzes current data sources, determines appropriate communication protocols, and constructs functional pipelines, ensuring both accuracy through systematic validation and high productivity through elimination of manual processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that automatically test and validate pipeline configurations. When data sources change or new requirements arise, the system receives feedback from validation tests and automatically adjusts the pipeline configuration, maintaining reliability while enabling rapid updates through iterative automated refinement.
3Reliability
If end-to-end testing is performed to ensure roadmap viability after revision, then system reliability is maintained, but computing resources and time are significantly consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary validation and testing during the pipeline generation phase rather than requiring comprehensive end-to-end testing after revision. By validating individual components and their interfaces upfront, the system ensures reliability while minimizing the need for resource-intensive post-revision testing.
Solution Approach 2:
The testing approach is made dynamic and adaptive based on what has changed. Rather than performing full end-to-end testing on every revision, the system dynamically determines the scope of validation needed based on specific changes, maintaining reliability while reducing unnecessary computing resource consumption from redundant testing.
4Adaptability or versatility
If synchronous passing of binary data is used between components, then data transmission is straightforward, but on-premises storage capacity is limited and digital library expansion is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from synchronous binary data passing to asynchronous data streaming with persistent storage. By adding the time dimension and using event-driven architecture, the system can handle larger volumes of data, expand digital library capacity, and maintain manageable complexity through standardized data flow patterns and buffering mechanisms.
