Solution Overview
Problem
Current computing technologies fail to provide effective tools for users to identify, evaluate, and manage trustworthy, optimal resource sets that fulfill their contextual purposes, due to the vastness and complexity of internet-based resources.
Innovation Solution
PERCos technologies offer a suite of capabilities that facilitate reliable resource identification, evaluation, and management by providing standardized, interoperable contextual purpose specification tools, assiduous identity techniques, and secure resource provisioning mechanisms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users manually identify and evaluate internet-based resources, then resource selection precision improves, but time consumption and operational complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables resources to automatically publish their own attribute information and purpose descriptions without manual user evaluation. Resources self-identify and self-describe their capabilities, allowing the system to automatically match resources with user needs based on published attributes and purposes, eliminating manual evaluation time while maintaining identification accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where resources publish their attribute information and purposes, users express their needs, and the system automatically matches and provisions resources. This continuous feedback loop of publishing, expressing needs, and matching enables rapid resource identification without manual evaluation, resolving the time-accuracy tradeoff
2Reliability
If comprehensive resource attributes are published for internet-based resources, then resource identification reliability improves, but information volume and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments resource identification into discrete attribute elements that can be independently published and matched. Instead of requiring comprehensive resource descriptions, the system breaks down identity into specific attribute categories (location, capability, status, etc.), allowing reliable identification through selective attribute publishing and matching, reducing overall system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses a universal attribute publishing mechanism that works across diverse resource types. A single standardized attribute framework can describe various resources (computing, storage, network, security), allowing the same system complexity to handle multiple resource types reliably without requiring type-specific identification mechanisms
3Reliability
If centralized identity management is implemented, then security control improves, but system flexibility and adaptability decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from static centralized identity management to dynamic distributed identity publishing. Resources dynamically publish their own attributes and purposes as needed, allowing flexible adaptation to different scenarios while maintaining security through standardized attribute frameworks and automated matching mechanisms, eliminating the rigidity of centralized control
