First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for designing an infrastructure to perform one or more tasks in an environment of resources comprising the steps of:
- determining one or more relations among the resources;
constructing a graph representation of said relations and the resources;
determining one or more paths through said graph representation wherein each of said paths represents a process for performing at least one of the tasks; and
determining at least one group of those of said resources that lie along said one or more paths, said at least one group having a minimal risk.

18. Computer executable software code stored on a computer readable medium, the code for designing an infrastructure to perform one or more tasks in an environment of resources, the code comprising:
-
code to determine one or more relations among the resources;
code to construct a graph representation of said relations and the resources;
code to determine one or more paths through said graph representation wherein each of said paths represents a process for performing at least one of the tasks; and
code to determine at least one group of those of said resources that lie along said one or more paths, said at least one group having a minimal risk. - View Dependent Claims (19)

20. A programmed computer system for designing an infrastructure to perform one or more tasks in an environment of resources comprising at least one memory having at least one region storing computer executable program code and at least one processor for executing the program code stored in said memory, wherein the program code includes
code to determine one or more relations among the resources; -
code to construct a graph representation of said relations and the resources;
code to determine one or more paths through said graph representation wherein each of said paths represents a process for performing at least one of the tasks; and
code to determine at least one group of those of said resources that lie along said one or more paths, said at least one group having a minimal risk. - View Dependent Claims (21)
