Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If distributed computing environments provide increased functionality and services for executing distributed programs, then the capability and versatility of the system is improved, but the complexity of creating, deploying, and executing distributed programs increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-configuration and self-optimization of distributed program execution. The computing environment automatically configures program components, selects execution locations, and optimizes inter-component communication without requiring manual developer intervention for each configuration detail, thereby reducing deployment complexity while maintaining enhanced functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

An optimization component acts as an intermediary between the developer and the distributed computing environment. This intermediary automatically handles the complex tasks of configuring program components, selecting execution locations, and optimizing communication frameworks, shielding developers from complexity while enabling access to advanced functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If manual configuration and deployment of program components is performed, then control and precision over execution is improved, but the time and effort required for deployment increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconfiguration precisionVSAvoiddeployment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis and configuration of program components before actual deployment. The optimization component pre-determines execution locations, communication frameworks, and component configurations based on program metadata and runtime optimization policies, enabling rapid deployment with high precision without manual intervention during the deployment phase

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The deployment process is automated through self-service mechanisms where the system automatically configures and deploys program components based on provided metadata and optimization policies, eliminating manual configuration time while maintaining precise control over execution parameters

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The optimization process is automated through self-service mechanisms where the system automatically analyzes program metadata, determines optimal execution strategies, and configures runtime parameters without requiring manual optimization intervention. This enables high execution efficiency while keeping the optimization process transparent and simple for developers

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms that monitor program execution and automatically adjust optimization parameters based on observed performance. The optimization component uses runtime information to dynamically refine execution strategies, improving efficiency while maintaining simple interaction through policy-based configuration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The execution of a distributed program including one or more program components may be optimized in an automated manner. A runtime optimization policy and/or a meta-description of the distributed program may be received. The runtime optimization policy may define metrics, constraints and/or preferences for use in optimizing the deployment and execution of the components of the distributed program. The meta-description may include data defining one or more consumable interfaces exposed by the program components and one or more dependency adapters utilized by the program components of the distributed program. The runtime optimization policy and/or the meta-description may be utilized to optimize the distributed program at build time, runtime and/or execution time of the components of the distributed program. Dynamic optimization might also be performed during runtime of the distributed program. An optimization component might optimize the deployment and execution of the distributed program in an automated fashion.
