MANAGING AN ENTITY USING A STATE MACHINE ABSTRACT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for managing an entity, said method comprising:
- establishing a framework for characterization of the entity, wherein the framework abstracts operation of the entity to a state machine, wherein each state in the state machine is characterized in terms of distributions of a performance metric associated with the entity; and
implementing, by a processor, the framework for characterization of the entity to manage the entity.

Abstract
In an implementation, a method for managing an entity may include establishing of a framework for characterization of the entity, in which the framework abstracts operation of the entity to a state machine. In addition, each state in the state machine may be characterized in terms of distributions of a performance metric associated with the entity. The method may also include implementing of the framework for characterization of the entity to manage the entity.

10. An apparatus for managing an entity, said apparatus comprising:
-
a memory storing at least one module comprising machine readable instructions to; establish an abstraction of a state machine, wherein each state in the state machine is characterized in terms of distributions of a performance metric associated with the entity; and implement the abstracted state machine to manage the entity; and a processor to implement the state machine. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium on which is stored machine readable instructions that when executed by a processor, implements a method to manage an entity, said machine readable instructions comprising code to:
-
establish an abstraction of a state machine, wherein each state in the state machine is characterized in terms of distributions of a performance metric associated with the entity; characterize each of the states of the entity in terms of a performance metric; incorporate the characterized states into the state machine abstraction; and implement the abstracted state machine with the incorporated characterized states to manage the entity.
