  • Publication number: 20210049525
    Abstract: A program model that includes requirements and control objects associated with requirements, workflows, proof assets. Workflow tasks associated with the workflows may generate requests to collect each proof asset associated with the control objects. Workflow tasks may validate each collected proof asset based on the plurality of control objects associated with each collected proof asset. Workflow tasks may determine completed control objects based on the validated proof assets. Workflow tasks may employ an amount of the completed control objects that is equivalent to the amount of the control objects associated with the program model to provide a report indicating that the requirements associated with the program model may be satisfied. Workflow tasks may employ detection of modifications to the validated proof assets to determine a portion of the workflow tasks based on the modified proof assets such that the portion of the workflow tasks may be re-executed.

  • Publication number: 20200396093
    Abstract: Techniques for concurrent node startup are provided. A first startup instruction is received by a first node of a plurality of nodes, and the first node enters an initial startup state. The first node further transmits a first ping to the plurality of nodes, and determines, based on the first ping, that none of the plurality of nodes are in an active state or in a secondary startup state. Upon determining that no additional pings have been received, the first node enters the secondary startup state. Finally, the first node enters the active state, where the first node enters the active state as an initial node in a new cluster.
