Unified Framework for Configuration and Deployment of Platform Intelligence

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, having stored thereon program instructions that, upon execution by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:

• determining a definition of a capability, wherein the definition indicates an input for the capability, an output of the capability, and an operation performed by the capability on the input to generate the output;
• determining a plurality of models configured to provide the capability;
• providing the definition of the capability to an application builder configured to provide a model-independent representation of the capability;
• determining a mapping that indicates, for each respective model of the plurality of models, one or more attribute values that cause the respective model to be executed to provide at runtime the capability to a software application defined using the application builder, wherein the mapping is unmodifiable by the application builder;
• and
• in response to reception from the software application of a request to provide the capability, providing the capability to the software application in accordance with the mapping.

A method comprising:

• receiving, from a software application, a request to provide a capability to the software application, wherein the request comprises an input data for the capability, wherein the capability is configured to perform an operation on the input data to generate an output data, and wherein the software application has been defined using an application builder configured to provide a model-independent representation of the capability for integration into the software application;
• in response to reception of the request to provide the capability, determining at least one runtime attribute value associated with the software application;
• selecting, based on the at least one runtime attribute value and a mapping, a first model from a plurality of models configured to provide the capability, wherein the mapping indicates, for each respective model of the plurality of models, one or more attribute values that cause the respective model to be executed to provide at runtime the capability to the software application, wherein the mapping is unmodifiable by the application builder;
• causing the first model to process the input data received from the software application;
• receiving, from the first model, the output data;
• and
• providing, to the software application, a model-independent representation of the output data.
