Claim:
1. A method, comprising: receiving, by a server, data from a network element; determining, by a data control task having a plurality of candidate data processing tasks associated therewith, a particular candidate data processing task of the plurality of candidate processing tasks for the received data based upon a first similarity metric representative of a measure of similarity between the received data and data currently associated with the particular candidate data processing task, wherein determining the particular candidate data processing task includes determining whether the first similarity metric is within a predetermined threshold; and sending the received data to the particular candidate data processing task, wherein the particular candidate data processing task is configured to determine whether the received data is suitable for the particular candidate data processing task based upon a second similarity metric between the received data and data currently associated with the particular candidate data processing task, wherein the second similarity metric is representative of a greater level of similarity analysis than the first similarity metric.
