  • Publication number: 20220414485
    Abstract: Words in a requirement may be decomposed into sub-parts to dynamically generate a requirement graph model. The requirement graph model may include nodes for the sub-parts of the requirement. The requirement graph model may be connected to a constraint graph model based on one or more nodes of the requirement graph model. The connection of the requirement graph model to the constraint graph model may form a combined graph model, and analysis may be performed based on the combined graph model.

  • Patent number: 11436514
    Abstract: A requirements knowledge graph may include nodes for different elements of a requirement's relationship to physical characteristics, such as the requirement and the associated unsafe conditions, control objects, and hazards. A connection between nodes may define a relationship between the corresponding elements. The requirement, that is decomposed into a subject, an object, a predicate, and a context, may define a rule for the control object in the unsafe condition to avoid the hazard. A model for a plan (e.g., drilling plan for a well, design for a drilling tool) may be constructed based on the requirements knowledge graph. The plan may be generated based on the model.
