  • Publication number: 20220035691
    Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for utilizing disruptions to enterprise systems, such as to test and/or improve the ability of the enterprise system to recover from system failures, for instance. In many embodiments, an enterprise system may include two or more networked components, such as hardware components and software components. Some embodiments are particularly directed to generating a disruption scheme for an enterprise system based on analysis of one or more aspects of the enterprise system. For example, embodiments may include one or more of planning, scheduling, creating, timing, implementing, administering, and/or strengthening against a disruption to an enterprise system in a controlled and monitored manner. In many embodiments, administration of a disruption scheme may be monitored, recorded, and/or analyzed. In many such embodiments, a library of disruption events may be generated based on monitoring, recording, and/or analyzing implementation of the disruption scheme.

  • Publication number: 20220038495
    Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems for managing security of a communication network. A message, formatted based on a stateless communication protocol for a communication network, may be received from a first computing device and by a second computing device. The second computing device generates a fingerprint of the message based on at least a portion of a header of the message or a portion of a body of the message. In addition, the second computing device detects whether the generated fingerprint of the message has a duplicated fingerprint already stored in the storage device, where the message is a retried message or replayed message of a message having the duplicated fingerprint. In embodiments, the fingerprint may be generated using a hash function based on the message.

  • Publication number: 20220036261
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to a method and system for dynamically predicting vehicle arrival time using a temporal difference learning technique. Due to varying uncertainties predicting vehicle arrival time and travel time are crucial elements to make the public transport travel more attractive and reliable with increased traffic volumes. The method includes receiving a plurality of inputs in real time and then extracting a plurality of temporal events from a closest candidate trip pattern using a historical database. Further, a trained temporal difference predictor model (TTDPM) is utilized for dynamically predicting the arrival time from the current location of the vehicle to the target destination based on the plurality of nonlinear features. The non-linear features and linear approximator formulation of TTDPM provides fast gradient computation improves training time.
