Targeted resource allocation

Systems and methods that manage resources and distribution thereof within an industrial system. Such an automated and dynamic allocation service can allocate resources from pools of resources available to the industrial system, and hence supply an efficient operation ( e . g ., adding/subtracting resources dynamically based on usage). A plurality of allocation rules and/or algorithms for resource types can be predetermined, and/or dynamically trained by the allocation service. The data employed for the industrial system includes sets of data from the "internal" data stream(s) ( e . g ., history data collected from an industrial unit) and sets of data from an "external" ( e . g ., traffic data on network services) data stream(s), based in part on the criticality/importance criteria assigned to each collection stage.
