Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a centralized configuration platform is implemented for dynamic data collection and metric computation, then flexibility and adaptability of metric customization are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The configuration platform performs multiple functions including data collection configuration, metric computation definition, validation, and iterative processing within a single centralized system. This multi-functional approach enables flexible metric customization while consolidating complexity into one universal platform rather than requiring separate systems for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The platform provides dynamic configuration capabilities where data collection and metric computation can be modified in real-time without requiring app updates. Configuration parameters can be changed, validated, and iterated upon dynamically, allowing the system to adapt to changing requirements while maintaining a structured approach to manage complexity.
2Productivity
If on-demand configuration and validation is enabled for metric computation, then productivity and speed of metric analysis are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs validation as a preliminary action before metric computation is executed. Configuration parameters are validated in advance to ensure correctness, preventing errors during actual metric computation. This preliminary validation approach enables faster productivity by avoiding rework while maintaining a systematic validation framework.
Solution Approach 2:
The platform incorporates feedback control where validation results feed back into the configuration process. If validation fails, the system provides feedback to guide corrections, and the process can be iterated. This feedback mechanism ensures high productivity through correct first-time computation while managing complexity through structured iterative improvement.
3Ease of operation
If app updates are eliminated for data collection configuration, then ease of operation and time efficiency are improved, but reliability of data collection may worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service configuration where metric definitions and data collection parameters can be modified directly through the configuration platform without requiring application updates. The platform itself serves as the mechanism for configuration changes, eliminating the need for app deployment cycles and providing immediate ease of operation while maintaining reliability through controlled configuration management.
Solution Approach 2:
The configuration system is dynamic, allowing real-time modifications to data collection parameters and metric definitions without freezing the system state. This dynamic capability enables easy reconfiguration while maintaining reliability through consistent state management and validation, allowing the system to adapt without requiring app updates.
Data Source
AI summary
Data collection management is disclosed. A data collection configuration is obtained. The data collection configuration is translated into executable code in a language usable to collect data. Data is collected using the executable code. The collected data values are provided as output. Metrics management is also disclosed. A configuration of a metric is obtained. The metric configuration includes a definition of how computation of the metric is to be performed and a mapping between a computation input and collected data. Collected data values are obtained based at least in part on the mapping. Metric values are computed according to the definition. One or more results associated with the computed metric values are stored.
