Abstract: A method of creating a root-of-trust (RoT) within a network fabric may include powering on a network interface card (NIC) baseboard management controller (BMC) (NIC BMC), booting up a NIC via the NIC BMC, obtaining an address for the NIC, verifying an identity of the NIC at a fabric trust identity server using a key obtained from a secure vault communicatively coupled to the NIC BMC, verifying with the fabric trust identity server a number of images of a host device residing in the NIC based at least in part on the identity of the NIC being verified, and instructing a platform BMC to boot up the host device based at least in part on the number of images of the host device being verified.

Abstract: Techniques to eliminate duplicate packets from a stream of packets. A method includes receiving a packet, hashing elements of the packet to obtain a packet partial signature, generating an action data value by appending, to the packet partial signature, unhashed packet information, accessing a hash store location in a hash store based on the action data value, determining, based on data stored at the hash store location, whether the packet is a duplicate of a previously-received packet, and based on whether the packet is a duplicate of a previously-received packet, one of allowing and preventing one of the packet and a copy of the packet to reach a downstream network node.

Abstract: A system and associated methods for accurate localization of seizure onset zone (SOZ) from independent components (IC) of resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) to improve surgical outcomes in children with Drug Resistant Epilepsy (DRE) are disclosed. The system and methods define a phased approach, where fMRI noise-related biomarkers are used through high fidelity image processing techniques to eliminate noise ICs. Then SOZ markers are used through a maximum likelihood-based classifier to determine SOZ localizing ICs.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining contextual objects related to web content. Web content may include one or more elements, which may be extracted from the web content and analyzed to identify any contextual objects. The web content elements may be hyperlink elements, and contextual objects may be identified based on the hyperlink elements. A dominant entity may be identified for the web content, and contextual objects relating to the dominant entity may be identified. When a request for web content is received, contextual objects may be provided with the requested content. Personalized contextual objects may be selected from the identified contextual objects based on data associated with the request for web content. Selection of a contextual object may result in navigation to a browsing environment associated with the selected contextual object.

Abstract: Techniques for sending Compute Express Link (CXL) packets over Ethernet (CXL-E) in a composable data center that may include disaggregated, composable servers. The techniques may include receiving, from a first server device, a request to bind the first server device with a multiple logical device (MLD) appliance. Based at least in part on the request, a first CXL-E connection may be established for the first server device to export a computing resource to the MLD appliance. The techniques may also include receiving, from the MLD appliance, an indication that the computing resource is available, and receiving, from a second server device, a second request for the computing resource. Based at least in part on the second request, a second CXL-E connection may be established for the second server device to consume or otherwise utilize the computing resource of the first server device via the MLD appliance.

Abstract: The operational characteristics of a cyber-physical system (CPS) may deviate from the certified system due to intended (in case of cheating) or unintended (wear and tear) reasons. A computer-implemented certification system makes test case search aware of the multidimensional interactions between the cyber and physical subsystems and addresses practical dynamical system problems like Zeno behavior and dynamical model divergence. The system dynamically modulates an input search space by predicting and limiting input variations that can potentially cause divergence or Zeno behavior.

Abstract: A system and associated methods/processes includes a sensor operable to capture sensor data indicative of a gesture; and a processor in communication with a memory and the sensor. The processor is configured to execute instructions stored in the memory, which, when executed, cause the processor to access the sensor data and decompose the gesture into a canonical gesture form defining a string of gesture components arranged in a spatio-temporal order.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for collecting network parameter data for network switches and/or physical servers and provisioning virtual resources of a service on physical servers based on network resource availability. The network parameter data may include network resource availability data, diagnostic constraint data, traffic flow data, etc. The techniques include determining network switches that have an availability of network resources to support a virtual resource on a connected physical server. A scheduler may deploy virtual machines to particular servers based on the network parameter data in lieu of, or in addition to, the server utilization data of the physical servers (e.g., CPU usage, memory usage, etc.). In this way, a virtual resource may be deployed to a physical server that has an availability of the server resources, but also is connected to a network switch with the availability of network resources to support the virtual resource.

Abstract: Complexities arising from interaction between multiple inter-connected components in an autonomous cyber physical system can potentially result in differences in intended and observed operations of a CPS. To perform fault analysis of a CPS it is imperative to explain this discrepancy in terms of the components of CPS control code. A system estimates a “mined” hybrid system representation of a CPS based on observed input/output traces and extracts a state machine representation of the CPS control code. The system compares the “mined” hybrid system representation with the extracted state machine representation simplification of the CPS code to identify discrepancies between expected and observed operation of the CPS. The system explains discrepancies in terms of call conditions as binary or unary operations on input and output variables and status of function call arguments.

Abstract: Safety certification of cyber-physical system (CPS) such as autonomous cars or medical control systems are complicated especially due to the lack of transparency between the manufacturer and certifying authority. The manufacturer has significant restrictions in sharing knowledge with the certification authority. Further, given time constraints, it may not be feasible for the certification authority to examine internal details of the CPS. A system models the safety certification of CPS as an agile iterative game, where a manufacturer agent acting on behalf of the manufacturer and a certifier agent acting on behalf of a third-party certification entity aims to find an optimal subset of operating data to share for accurate safety certification. The certification agent, armed with CPS model mining methods and safety assessment analysis tools, aims to accurately assess safety of the CPS with the information shared.
