The patent US12033002B2 outlines a method and system for scheduling program operations on cloud-based services, focusing on optimizing execution based on user constraints such as deadlines and budgets. The method begins with receiving a request for a program operation along with user-defined constraints. It involves breaking down the operation into sub-operations and identifying various service component combinations that can execute these tasks. The system queries the status of each service component to assess their processing capabilities, including maximum speed, memory, and network bandwidth. A machine learning algorithm is employed to select the most suitable service component combination that meets the user constraints while considering any processing limitations.

Additionally, the patent details how the method can adapt to financial constraints by retrieving pricing models to evaluate costs associated with each service component combination. The algorithm assigns scores based on the likelihood of meeting budgetary requirements. If certain service components are unavailable, the system can estimate their availability and create a schedule to ensure the program operation is executed within the specified constraints. If the schedule fails to meet the user constraints, an error message is generated. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance the efficiency and reliability of cloud-based service operations by leveraging machine learning and real-time status assessments.
