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;
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;
determining a plurality of anti-correlated families wherein each of said anti-correlated families contains two or more of said resources lying along said one or more paths that are anti-correlated; and
determining one or more perspective groups of said resources from said plurality of anti-correlated families.

17. 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;
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;
code to determine a plurality of anti-correlated families wherein each of said anti-correlated families contains two or more of said resources lying along said one or more paths that are anti-correlated; and
code to determine one or more perspective groups of said resources from said plurality of anti-correlated families.
- code to construct a graph representation of said relations and the resources;

18. A computer program product for designing an infrastructure to perform one or more tasks in an environment of resources, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code stored therein, the computer program product being in operable communication with a remote kiosk, the computer-readable program code comprising:
an executable portion for determining one or more relations among the resources;
said executable portion constructing a graph representation of the relations and the resources;
said executable portion determining one or more paths through the graph representation wherein each of the paths represents a process for performing at least one of the tasks; and
said executable portion determining at least one group of those of the resources that lie along the one or more paths, the at least one group having a minimal risk;
said executable portion determines a plurality of anti-correlated families wherein each of the anti-correlated families contains two or more of the resources lying along the one or more paths that are anti-correlated; and
said executable portion determines one or more perspective groups of the resources from the plurality of anti-correlated families.
