Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional object-oriented evaluation tools are used, then certain object-oriented aspects can be measured, but object relationships cannot be measured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines object-oriented evaluation metrics and relational database evaluation metrics into a unified evaluation framework. The system selects metrics from both categories and integrates them to comprehensively evaluate process objects, thereby measuring both object-oriented aspects and object relationships simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The evaluation system is designed to be universal by accommodating multiple types of metrics (object-oriented and relational) within a single framework. This multi-functional approach allows the system to evaluate different aspects of process objects using appropriate metrics from different evaluation traditions.
2Measurement precision
If relational database evaluation tools are used, then certain relational aspects can be measured, but object data and routines cannot be measured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges relational database evaluation metrics with object-oriented evaluation metrics into a comprehensive evaluation system. This combination enables the measurement of both relational aspects (using relational metrics) and object data/routines (using object-oriented metrics) within the same evaluation framework.
Solution Approach 2:
The evaluation system achieves universality by incorporating multiple metric types that can evaluate different facets of process objects. The system selectively applies relational metrics for relational aspects and object-oriented metrics for data and routines, making the evaluation framework adaptable to various evaluation needs.
3Measurement precision
If separate evaluation tools are used for different aspects, then specialized measurement can be achieved, but integration and comprehensive evaluation cannot be performed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate evaluation tools into a single integrated evaluation system. The system maintains the specialized capabilities of both object-oriented and relational evaluation tools while combining them through a unified metric selection and evaluation process, eliminating the need for separate tool chains.
Solution Approach 2:
The evaluation system is designed as a universal platform that can perform specialized measurements through selective metric application. By incorporating both object-oriented and relational metrics in a single framework, the system provides comprehensive evaluation capabilities without requiring multiple separate tools.

AI summary
A method and system to evaluate process objects for acceptability for use. New metrics that measure both object components and their relationships are used. The method selects metrics for the process objects that measure both the components and their relationships, compares measurements of the selected metrics with corresponding metric norms, and, based on the comparison, determines whether the process objects are acceptable. The system includes a memory to store metrics and process objects and a processor to select applicable metrics for the process objects, calculate the measurements of the selected metrics, compare the measurements to corresponding metric norms, and, based on the comparison, determine whether the process objects are acceptable.
