Abstract: Embodiments are directed to an overlay network for an industrial Internet of Things. The overlay network has multiple main components: (1) a security component, such as a cloaked network, (2) a digital twin component that operates as digital simulations of the physical devices, (3) a communications mesh, and (4) a resource provisioning matrix for adjusting the resources used by the digital twin. The overlay network is a virtual network that is Software Defined—it sits on top of the existing Internet physical hardware of servers, routers, etc. The overlay network is sometimes referred to herein as a Software Defined Secure Content/Context Aware Network (SD-SCAN).

Abstract: A platform architecture that is configurable to provide task specific application instances compatible with one or more hosts is provided with a method for using the architecture. In one example, the platform architecture provides a transducer functionality block, a conduit functionality block, an application functionality block, and an application programming interface (API) functionality block on which each task specific application instance is based.
