DYNAMIC REGISTRATION OF SOFTWARE COMPONENTS FOR DIAGNOSIS OF ROOT CAUSE OF FAILURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240160518 titled 'DYNAMIC REGISTRATION OF SOFTWARE COMPONENTS FOR DIAGNOSIS OF ROOT CAUSE OF FAILURE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for dynamic registration of software components for root cause of failure diagnosis. This involves determining the start of execution of a thread associated with a process, creating a dynamic registry for the thread, determining software components associated with the thread, and creating entries in the registry for each component with diagnostic information indicators.

• Explanation of the patent/innovation:

 * Determining start of execution of a thread associated with a process
 * Creating a dynamic registry for the thread
 * Identifying software components associated with the thread
 * Creating entries in the registry for each software component with diagnostic content indicators

• Potential applications of this technology:

 * Root cause analysis in software systems
 * Debugging and troubleshooting software failures

• Problems solved by this technology:

 * Efficient identification of software components causing failures
 * Streamlined root cause analysis process

• Benefits of this technology:

 * Improved software reliability
 * Faster resolution of software failures

• Potential commercial applications of this technology:

 * Software development tools
 * System monitoring and diagnostics software

• Possible prior art:

 * Existing software debugging tools
 * Root cause analysis techniques in software engineering

1. 1. 1. Unanswered Questions:
         1. How does this method handle complex software systems with multiple threads and components?

This method may need further validation and testing to ensure its effectiveness in complex software environments.

1. 1. 1. 1. What impact does the dynamic registration of software components have on system performance?

It is important to investigate whether the overhead of maintaining the dynamic registry affects the overall performance of the system.

Original Abstract Submitted

dynamic registration of software components for root cause of failure diagnosis may include determining a start of execution of a thread associated with a process, and creating a dynamic registry associated with the thread. one or more software components associated with execution of the thread are determined, and an entry in the dynamic registry is created for each of the one or more software components. the entry includes an identifier of the software component and a diagnostic content indicator associated with the software component. the diagnostic content indicator indicates component-specific diagnostic information associated with the software component.
