Abstract

Provided is a problem solving system. More specifically, the problem solving system provides an interface operable to receive user supplied input data, the input data having at least one user defined characteristic. The system provides an algorithm pool having a plurality of pre-defined algorithms, each algorithm having at least one associated algorithm characteristic. The system also provides a data source pool having at least one data source, each data source having at least one data characteristic. An algorithm selector is in communication with the interface, algorithm pool and data source pool. The algorithm selector operable to; receive the input data and review the at least one user defined characteristic; select at least one algorithm from the algorithm pool based on the at least one user defined characteristic and selected algorithm's algorithm characteristic; select at least one data source from the data source pool based on the at least one user defined characteristic indicating a need for additional data and the selected data source's data characteristic; and bundle the input data, the selected algorithm and data source as a job operation for execution by a job operation…
