Abstract

Information streams are integrated with context information objects and processing instruction objects. The integrated information streams are received by a solution manifold and transformed in accordance with the context information objects, the instruction objects, and logic inherent in the solution manifold. The transformed information is then viewed by a client of the solution manifold. The client may also impose different transformation rules and context information on the transformed information and return those transformation rules and context information to the solution manifold to revised the manner in which integrated data is subsequently transformed. Additionally, the solution manifold logic may be overruled by the instruction objects and/or updated by the instruction objects.

Claims

1. An adaptive analytical system comprising:

a data acquisition platform, wherein the data acquisition platform is adapted to receive information streams from information sources, wherein an information stream comprises raw data;

an integration layer adapted to;

receive an information stream from the data acquisition platform;

acquire relationship data associating the information stream with context data and store the relationship data in information objects;

acquire processing instructions associated with the information stream and store the processing instructions in instruction objects;

integrate the information stream with the information objects and the instruction objects; and

format the integrated information stream in a preferred format; and

a solution manifold, wherein the solution manifold is adapted to;

receive the integrated information stream;

obtain the information objects and the instruction objects; and

process the data streams comprising the integrated stream in accordance with the information objects and instruction objects.
