SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AGGREGATING INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method for aggregating information, comprising:
- receiving information defining a first valuation, wherein the first valuation indicates a level of support for each of a first set of configurations;
generating a configuration identifier for each of the first set of configurations;
storing the configuration identifiers for the first set of configurations in a first ordered list;
receiving information defining a second valuation, wherein the second valuation indicates a level of support for each of a second set of configurations;
generating a configuration identifier for each of the second set of configurations;
storing the configuration identifiers for the second set of configurations in a second ordered list;
comparing the first ordered list to the second ordered list;
identifying, based on the comparison of the first ordered list and the second ordered list, a third set of configurations that are include in both the first set of configurations and the second configurations;
generating a third valuation based on the third set of configurations, wherein the third valuation indicates a level of support for each of the third set of configurations; and
storing at least a portion of the third valuation in an electronic memory.

Abstract
A method for allocating resources includes receiving one or more parameters associated with an object of interest. At least one of the parameters corresponds to a probability that the object of interest is participating in a predetermined situation of interest. The method also includes calculating a plurality of values, based at least in part on the parameters, and selecting, based at least in part on the calculated values, one or more operations to be performed involving the object of interest. In addition the method includes generating an instruction based at least in part on the operation to be performed transmitting the instruction to an operational resource.
