Asset-centric network pipeline infrastructure resources and orchestration

Abstract

Systems and methods for transaction platforms include various systems interacting with each other and transacting in various ways. A method for configuring and launching a marketplace includes: identifying, by a processing system having one or more processors, an opportunity to facilitate configuration of a new marketplace; receiving marketplace opportunity data, wherein the marketplace opportunity data includes information related to a set of assets of one or more types; determining configuration parameters to be implemented in the new marketplace; determining the feasibility of implementing the configuration parameters in the new marketplace; determining data resources to support the new marketplace; determining an architecture of the new marketplace; determining the configuration of the data resources in a data model for the marketplace; configuring a marketplace object; connecting selected data resources to populate the marketplace object; and launching the new marketplace.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 connecting via a first network interface a set of network infrastructure resources to an asset;   connecting via a second network interface the set of network infrastructure resources to a second set of network infrastructure resources forming a portion of a network path for delivering data from the asset to a marketplace orchestration system interface, the network path automatically adapted to deliver the data from the asset to the marketplace orchestration system interface based on one or more characteristics of the data from the asset and at least one performance parameter for the network path;   controlling delivery of the data from the asset over the adapted network path with an asset-centric controller disposed to communicate with the asset through the first network interface;   processing the data from the asset in support of delivery of the data from the asset over the adapted network path with an asset-centric data handling system disposed to communicate with the asset through the first network interface; and   storing data processed by the asset-centric data handling system in an asset-centric data storage facility controlled by the asset-centric controller, wherein data stored in the asset-centric data storage facility is accessible through the second interface by a portion of the second set of network infrastructure resources for delivering data from the asset to the marketplace orchestration system interface.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the network path is further automatically adapted to adjust timing of delivery of data from the asset to the marketplace orchestration system interface based on at least one of a transaction parameter and a network performance parameter. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first network interface communicates with a native network interface of the asset. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first network interface communicates with an asset management resource. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the asset data is provided by the asset management resource. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first network interface communicates with a digital twin of the asset. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the data from the asset is provided by the digital twin. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the asset-centric controller configures the first network interface based on a result of analysis of the data from the asset by the asset-centric data handling system. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the asset-centric controller retrieves the result of analysis from the asset-centric data storage facility. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the network path is further automatically adapted based on one or more security characteristics of the data from the asset. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein further automatically adapting the network path based on the one or more security characteristics of the data includes configuring the network path to avoid poor reputation network resources. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the automatically adapted network path includes an adapted communication protocol that avoids exposing data from the asset in a context that gives meaning to the data. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein adjusting the adapted communication protocol delivers a first portion of the data from the asset through a first network path and a second portion of the data from the asset through a second network path. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the automatically adapted network path for delivering the data from the asset changes over time. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the automatically adapted network path is different than prior network infrastructure paths used to deliver the data from the asset that are recorded in a historical record of network paths for the data from the asset. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the asset-centric controller configures the first network interface and the asset-centric data handling system so delivery of the data from the asset over the adapted network path is independent of how data from the asset is received from the asset by the first network communication interface. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the marketplace orchestration system interface is a set of smart contracts that includes terms, conditions, and parameters for a set of transaction workflows involving the asset. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the marketplace orchestration system interface is an interface through which an operator orchestrates parameters of a set of transaction workflows associated with transactions for the assets. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the operator orchestrates parameters of a set of transaction workflows based on the data from the asset. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the marketplace orchestration system interface is adapted to facilitate orchestrating parameters of a set of transaction workflows involving the assets.
