Abstract: In some implementations, a system may identify a plurality of sensor devices that are associated with a physical environment. The system may receive an indication that a set of sensor devices (e.g., that includes two or more sensor devices) are to be associated with a virtual sensor that is associated with the physical environment. The system may generate, based on receiving the indication, the virtual sensor. The system may obtain sensor data that was captured by the set of sensor devices. The system may process the sensor data to determine a set of parameters associated the virtual sensor. The system may determine, based on the set of parameters associated with the virtual sensor, that a physical environment condition is satisfied. The system may cause, based on determining that the physical environment condition is satisfied, one or more actions to be performed.

Abstract: Techniques, described herein, may enable a software defined network (SDN) to determine application program interfaces (APIs) for providing network services. For instance, when a customer submits a request to access media content (e.g., images, music, videos, etc.), the SDN may determine the APIs to enable the network service to be provided to the user with little or no operator involvement. In some implementations, the APIs may be derived by the network dynamically. In some implementations, the APIs may be derived from API records that are stored by the SDN. Additionally, when new APIs are derived for a network service, the APIs may be recorded in case the same request for network services is later received (e.g., from another customer) in which case the record may be promptly used to determine the appropriate APIs for the requested network service.

Abstract: A device obtains a label from a particular device. The device identifies a first flag, a second flag, a third flag, and a fourth flag from the label. The device determines, based on the first flag, first information indicating a kind of communication used by the particular device. The device determines, based on the second flag, second information indicating a direction the particular device communicates data and/or indicating storage options. The device determines, based on the third flag, third information indicating at least one of service information for the particular device, an energy requirement for the particular device, or a redundancy mechanism for the particular device. The device determines, based on the fourth flag, fourth information indicating an administrative requirement for the particular device. The device manages the particular device or an environment based on at least one of the determined information.

Abstract: An intelligent network interconnect may include a control channel and a plurality of nodes. The plurality of nodes may include a first node coupled to a first network and a second node coupled to a second network. Each of the plurality of nodes is coupled to the control channel. The intelligent network interconnect may also include a control device coupled to the control channel. The intelligent network interconnect may be configured to: collect network data from the first node and the second node, wherein the network data includes traffic data of the first network; obtain metrics based on the collected network data; detect an event based on the metrics and the collected network data; and a rule whose condition matches the event; and send a command over the control channel, to one or more of the nodes, to perform an action associated with the rule.

Abstract: A device is configured to store a hash value and an encrypted hash value. The device may broadcast a boot label including the encrypted hash value. The device may receive an administrator label from an administrative device based on the boot label. The administrator label may include a decrypted hash value. The device may determine the decrypted hash value matches the hash value. The device may receive access information from the administrative device based on the decrypted hash value matching the hash value. The access information may associate authorization information and an access level. The access level may be associated with particular data that is permitted to be read from the device. The device may selectively provide the particular data to a control device based on the access information.

Abstract: A device may control a network based on the position of a client, and may be configured to determine a position of a client within the network. The device may determine whether the client is located inside a zone from a plurality of established zones based on the determined position of the client, and then identify a zone in which the client is located upon determining that the client is located inside one of the established zones. The device may apply a profile associated with the identified zone to the client, and then determine a logical network identifier for the client based on the identified zone. The network may appear to the client as an isolated network for the identified zone.

Abstract: A controller stores preference information related to an initial configuration of wireless access points (WAPs). Based on the preference information, the controller initially activates or deactivates the WAPs to form a wireless local network (WLAN). The WLAN is monitored and operation of the WAPs may be modified based on the monitoring of the WLAN. For example, the controller may monitor an activity level associated with an active group of the WAPs and may compare the activity level to a threshold. The controller may activate an additional WAP if, for example, the activity level is above an upper threshold, and the controller may deactivate one of the active WAPs if the activity level is below a lower threshold.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, from a client enterprise, at a provider computing device, a request for price quote for products provided by a provider enterprise and determining a plurality of discrete processing units based on the request for price quote. The method includes assigning each of the plurality of discrete processing units to a single one of a plurality of parallel processing devices. The method includes accessing, by each of the plurality of parallel processing devices, price quote generation data stored in a hierarchical manner in a database associated with the provider, and processing the discrete processing units the plurality of discrete processing units based on the price quote generation data to generate a corresponding plurality of processed units. The method includes merging the processed units to form concatenated processed units and adding global components to the concatenated processed units to form the price quote.
