Patent ID: 8719065

Claim:
A system for maximizing the value of allocation of processes to resources within an operational system comprising: a processor operative to process the functions of a capability engine responsive to data representing measures of effectiveness identifying at least one sub-system of the operational system, and associated measures of performance identifying a performance of at least one component of the at least one sub-system identified by the measure of effectiveness of the operational system, one or more operational objectives corresponding to the measures of effectiveness, and failure modes of the operational system, and configured to generate workload requirements based on the measures of effectiveness and to generate an operational event timeline corresponding to the operation objectives, the measures of effectiveness being a function of the measures of performance, the system further comprising a two-tiered grain system, the two-tiered grain system including: a coarse-grained allocation engine that accounts for event changes at a finite time and is responsive to the workload requirements and the operational event timeline and configured to generate a coarse-grained resource lineup by allocating processes needed to accomplish the one or more operation objected, and an operational value; and a fine-grained optimization engine that accounts for event changes over continuous time and is responsive to the coarse-grained resource lineup and the operational value and configured to generate a fine-grained resource lineup, a maximized operational value using the maximized capability of each of the resources, and a total resource utilization, wherein the system includes a display device operative to output the fine-grained resource lineup to a user.
