Patent Images
1. A method for estimating a time required to complete an atomic task, wherein the atomic task is one of a plurality of atomic tasks that collectively forms a molecular task, the method comprising:
- obtaining, for each of a plurality of molecular tasks including the molecular task, data including;
a known time required to complete the each of the plurality of molecular tasks and a known list of constituent atomic tasks forming the each of the plurality of molecular tasks; and
estimating the time required to complete the atomic task based on the data.

Abstract
A method for estimating a time required to complete an atomic task, where the atomic task is one of a plurality of atomic tasks that collectively forms a molecular task, includes obtaining, for each of a plurality of molecular tasks including the molecular task, data including: a known time required to complete each of the plurality of molecular tasks and a known list of constituent atomic tasks forming each of the plurality of molecular tasks, and estimating the time required to complete the atomic task based on the data.

25. A method for estimating a time required to complete a task, the method comprising:
-
identifying a plurality of molecules, where each molecule in the plurality of molecules comprises a task formed by linking a plurality of atoms, and wherein each of the plurality of atoms comprises an indivisible task; dividing each of the plurality of molecules into an associated set of constituent atoms, to produce a set of atoms; clustering the set of atoms into a plurality of equivalence classes, wherein each of the plurality of equivalence classes represents a subset of the set of atoms, and each atom in the subset of atoms is considered to require an approximately equivalent amount of time to complete; constructing a measurement operator from relationships between the plurality of molecules and the set of atoms; constructing a measurement vector from times required to complete the plurality of molecules, wherein the times required to complete the plurality of molecules are known; and estimating an amount of time required to complete an atom in the set of atoms, using the measurement operator and the measurement vector.
