FUZZY LOGIC BASED RESENDING ORDER OF NOT SUCCESSFULLY PROCESSED REQUESTS
Provided is a process in which a plurality of requests is sent from an interface of a first device to an interface of a second device. If it is determined that at least some of the plurality of requests have not successfully been processed by the second device, an order of at least some of the not successfully processed requests is determined for resending, wherein the order is based on a fuzzy logic implementation.
1 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:
sending a plurality of requests from an interface of a first device to an interface of a remotely located second device;
determining that at least some of the plurality of requests have not successfully been processed by the second device;
determining an order of at least some of the not successfully processed requests for resending, wherein the order is based on a fuzzy logic implementation; and
resending the ordered requests.
2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the requests are ordered based on crisp values calculated by the fuzzy logic implementation.
3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein a crisp value mapped on a plurality of membership functions of each request is based on a value indicating an urgency of the respective request.
4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein a crisp value mapped on a plurality of membership functions of each request is based on an indication of a category of the respective request.
5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein a crisp value mapped on a plurality of membership functions of each request is based on a number of not successfully processed requests in the same category.
6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein a crisp value mapped on a plurality of membership functions of each request is calculated based on a number of times the request was resent.
7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the interface is connected to a transmission node which relays data traffic between the interface of the first device and the interface of the second device.
8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the interface is connected to a network and the plurality of requests are sent to the interface of the remotely located second device via the network.
9 . A system comprising:
an interface of a first device, wherein the interface is to:
signal descriptive information about requests for which the interface receives no positive indication that the requests have been successfully processed by a second device to a fuzzy logic engine, wherein the fuzzy logic engine is to persistently store fuzzy membership functions and fuzzy inference rules;
receive in response to the signaled information request ordering information from the fuzzy logic engine; and
resend the requests in accordance with an order indicated by the ordering information.
10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the ordering information contains indications of crisp values calculated by the fuzzy logic engine.
11 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the descriptive information contains an indication of an urgency of each request.
12 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the descriptive information contains an indication of a category of each respective request.
13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein values of a plurality of membership functions of each request are based on the number of not successfully processed requests in the same category.
14 . A machine-readable medium storing non-transitory machine-readable instructions which when executed by a processor of a first device cause a workflow within the first device to:
send a multitude of requests to a second device, each request of the plurality of requests indicating an action of a list of actions to be performed by the second device, the list of actions comprising at least one of a create, delete, update, close, and reopen action with regard to a record in a memory of the second device;
determine that at least some of the plurality of requests have not successfully been processed by the second device;
determine an order of at least some of the not successfully processed requests for resending based on a fuzzy logic implementation; and
resend the ordered requests.
15 . The machine-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the workflow within the first device is further caused to:
determine descriptive information about the requests for which the interface receives no positive indication that the requests have been successfully processed by the second device;
implement a fuzzy logic engine, wherein the fuzzy logic engine is to persistently store fuzzy membership functions and fuzzy inference rules; and
use the fuzzy logic engine to provide ordering information for determining the order of the not successfully processed requests based on the descriptive information.
