Abstract

A set of available values is obtained corresponding to a set of data fields associated with a dimension member in a set of dimension members corresponding to a dimension in a set of dimensions of an object. Each possible combination of dimension members is computed for the object. For a data field of a dimension member of a dimension, a normalized value is computed based on values of the data field for each dimension member in the dimension. A combined data field value is computed for a possible combination of the object as a product of the normalized value of the data field in each dimension member that participates in the possible combination. A set of combined data field values corresponding to all possible combinations is analyzed to identify a possible combination having a property. A control component of a physical environment is adjusted according to the identified possible combination.
