Abstract
The aspects of the disclosed embodiments are directed to a method executed in a computer-based system using a processor with memory that includes modeling and representing complex problems in memory according to the mechanisms detailed herein, applying information about and/or soliciting information from end-users, and applying the models and expressions of these problems to configure and thereby transform a system in memory to a system capable of efficiently creating and delivering optimized solutions.
Claims20
A system for creating and delivering an optimized solution to a complex problem, comprising:
- a controller with a memory in communication with a processor, the memory including program instructions for execution by the processor to:
- detect an input of a search query, the search query containing one or more information elements that describe the complex problem;
- identify an expert program module corresponding to the search query, the expert program module configured to define and specify a set of rules and relationships in a hierarchical manner that are associated with the search query to provide a criteria-based solution model;
- a solution module configured to interface with the expert program module and apply user generated criteria and relationships to the model and represent the complex problem in memory using one or more mechanisms that relate relationships, importances and data values in a hierarchical manner and generate the optimized solution to the complex problem;
- and
- a database that stores information on currently available assets that are included in the optimized solution.
A method executed in a computer-based system using a processor with a memory, the method comprising:
- modeling and representing a complex problem in the memory using mechanisms to describe relationships, importances, and data values in a hierarchical manner;
- applying the mechanisms to descriptive criteria associated with assets that include goods, services, people and data;
- generating one or more optimized solutions to the problem which may include the assets or allocations of the assets;
- and
- delivering one or more of the optimized solutions to an end-user.
