Employing associative memory for enhanced lifecycle management

摘要

A non-conformance analysis system may have an associative memory subsystem populated with information involving a plurality of entities defining different attributes of a component, with each entity being categorized under a user defined entity type, the entities and entity types forming an associative memory. A user input device may be used for enabling a user to input a query concerning the component, and to obtain information useful for managing a lifecycle of said component. An associative memory entity analytics engine in communication with the associative memory subsystem, and responsive to said user input device, searches the associative memory using the information provided in the query to retrieve entities helpful to the user in assessing the lifecycle of the component.

1. A lifecycle management system for a platform, the system comprising:
associative memory populated with a plurality of matrices, each matrix including entity values and attribute values pertaining to life cycle of the platform, the associative memory providing unfiltered correlations between each matrix relative to the other matrices; a processor executing an entity analytics engine to perform a search of the unfiltered correlations with respect to a specified component of the platform, the search returning any highly correlated entity and attribute values that do not include the specified component but are highly correlated to the specified component; wherein the highly correlated entity is the entity with the highest value, that correspond to a number of times the entity is returned within a repetitive search executed by the entity analytic engine; and the processor updating a plurality of different information tools with reports based on other similar components that are either further ahead or behind in the lifecycle of the specified component.
