Abstract: System for performance-based design space composition in engineering systems includes design configuration module, explainable recommendation module and user interface module. A list of one or more system configurations is generated, each system configuration having a unique set of components that satisfy system goals and system requirements. For each system configuration, system performance values are determined based on performance enabled by each system component. A design dashboard presents the system configurations in rank order and the system performance value for each of the system configuration components.

Abstract: A status visualization method of a diagnostic laboratory system. The status visualization method includes receiving, at a system controller, computer-readable data comprising analyzers included within the diagnostic laboratory system, and test demand for types of tests and number of the tests to be performed on samples by the analyzers, wherein the analyzers each include consumable items and maintenance items. The method further includes determining, via a walk-away time estimation module executing on the system controller, an estimated walk-away time for the analyzers based upon the test demand and status of the consumable items and maintenance items. Diagnostic laboratory systems with walk-away time estimation are disclosed, as are other aspects.

Abstract: System and method for performance-based design space composition in engineering systems includes an explainable recommendation module configured to generate a list of one or more system configurations, each system configuration comprising a unique set of components that satisfy system goals and system requirements. The system configurations are based on received seed designs and specification of system design requirements. For each system configuration, system performance values are determined based on performance enabled by each system component. The system configurations are ranked according system performance values. A design dashboard presents the system configurations in rank order, and for each system configuration, the system performance value for each of the system configuration components.

Abstract: System and method for conversational dialog in an engineering systems design includes a design bot configured to generate a design dashboard on a graphical user interface that presents a textual representation of system design view information with a rendering of system design view components. A dialog box feature of the dashboard receives a plain text string conveying a user request for a system design view of system elements and properties of the system elements. The design bot translates plain text of the user request to a vectorized contextual user request using context defined for design activity goals with respect to elements of the system design. System design view information is retrieved from a design repository based on the vectorized user request. A plain text string response to the user request conveying system design information relevant to the system design is displayed in the dialog box.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described that can encode connection information between consumers and providers for displaying to users. In an example aspect, a distributed control system includes a production network configured to perform automated control operation. The production network can include one or more data extraction nodes and a plurality of devices in communication with the data extraction nodes. The data extraction nodes are configured to collect data from the plurality of devices. The data indicates connection information associated with the plurality of devices. The system can further include a screen configured to display a plurality of interfaces that include the plurality of devices represented as consumers and providers. In some cases, the screen defines a single desktop monitor or a mobile device display.
