Abstract:
A method performing complex combinations of functionality on a system, and for heuristically defining and modifying such functionality, the method comprising:a) acquiring data about the system, at each of a plurality of points in time, from each of at least one data domain through which data is available from the system; b) identifying combinations of data which recur; c) associating a repetition cluster with each combination of data which recurs; d) executing an action associated with a corresponding repetition cluster; e) acquiring from each of the at least one data domains data corresponding to the consequences of executing each of the actions; f) determining from data derived from the consequences of actions associated with corresponding repetition clusters of data which actions are desirable; and g) increasing the probability that a desirable action will be executed when a combination of data is acquired which substantially corresponds to a repetition cluster associated wit the desirable action.
