Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple types of transactions and media are processed simultaneously, then productivity is improved, but transaction time increases and security risks worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by determining the optimal processing order of multiple transactions before execution. The controller analyzes the transaction queue and establishes a predetermined processing sequence that optimizes overall transaction time, allowing parallel processing of compatible transactions while maintaining security protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The transaction processing system is segmented into multiple independent processing channels, each handling specific transaction types or media. This segmentation allows simultaneous processing of different transactions through dedicated channels while the controller coordinates their execution order to minimize total processing time and maintain security.
2Productivity
If multiple types of transactions and media are processed simultaneously, then productivity is improved, but security risks worsen
Solution Approach 1:
Security verification is performed as a preliminary action before transaction execution. The controller determines the processing order and performs necessary security checks in advance, ensuring that security protocols are maintained even when multiple transactions are processed simultaneously through parallel channels.
3Reliability
If processing order is predetermined, then security is improved, but transaction time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary determination of the processing order based on security requirements and transaction characteristics. This predetermined order is established before execution, allowing the system to maintain security protocols while optimizing the sequence to minimize overall transaction time through efficient parallel processing of compatible transactions.
