Abstract
Methods and systems for optimizing the retrieval of data from multiple sources are described. A slot map including slots for the storage of data elements can be obtained. The data elements associated with the slots can be prioritized by weighting values with costs of retrieving the data elements from respective data sources. Each value can be associated with a different data element and can indicate a respective degree of importance of the associated data element. Further, the systems and methods can direct the retrieval of data elements from the respective data sources in an order in accordance with the priority of the data elements to optimize the quality of data obtainable within a critical time constraint. In addition, the retrieved data elements can be stored in corresponding slots on a storage medium.
