Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to facilitating performing online data decomposition. In accordance with aspects of the present disclosure, an incoming data point of a time series data set is obtained. Thereafter, an iterative process of estimating trend and seasonality is performed to decompose the incoming data point to a set of data components based on a particular set of previous data points of the time series data set and corresponding data components. Generally, the set of data components for the incoming data point include a trend component, a seasonality component, and a residual component. The set of data components is provided for analysis of the incoming data point, such as, for example, to identify data anomalies.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a management system that determines which services to redeploy on one or more platforms. A platform can receive a configuration to perform during a failure of connectivity with a management system. The platform can monitor activity of one or more services. The platform can, based on failure of connectivity with the management system and recovery of connectivity with the management system, provide the monitored activity of one or more services to the management system to influence services re-deployed by the management system. In some examples, based on failure to re-establish a connection with the management system within an amount of time, the platform can connect with the management system using a secondary management interface.

Abstract: Network elements are managed with a server to support client data models from heterogeneous data sources. A server receives a first query for configuration data of a network element to be returned in a first model. The server determines a model type for the configuration data of the network element. When the model type is a second model that is not the first model, the server sends a second query to the network element for the configuration data to be returned in the second model and transforms the configuration data received from the network element into the first model. Additionally, the server returns the configuration data in the first model as a response to the first query.

The one or more first network traffic metrics are provided to the first QoE inference model to infer a first respective QoE.

Abstract: An accessory communication control protocol can facilitate faster and more secure transmission of status updates from an accessory to a controller (or network base station). An accessory can register with a controller, where the controller can provide some subscription and key generation information to the accessory. The accessory can detect changes to characteristics of the accessory and generate a broadcast notification that includes updates to the state of the characteristic. The broadcast notification can also include a counter, a device identifier, and a key. According to timing or rules, the accessory can transmit the broadcast notification to the controller without the need to establish a secure session with the controller.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for identifying images which may be of interest to a user based on their current geographic location. In some embodiments, a check is first performed to determine if the current geographic location is a location-of-interest. Images are searched that are in geographical proximity to the current geographic location of the user to identify images-of-interest. The images-of-interest may be designated in part based on actions taken by subjects having had interactions with the images. The user is notified based on the discovery of one or more images-of-interest. The one or more images-of-interest may be presented to the user through the use of map overlays and/or augmented reality techniques.

Abstract: A method of processing payment transactions includes receiving a connection request from a client device, determining whether a gateway is available for the client device, creating a connection between the client device and a gateway, the gateway being a previously existing gateway or a newly generated gateway, creating a message filter for the client device on a message bus, listening for messages on the message bus and transmitting the message to the client device by way of the gateway upon finding a message on the message bus matching the message filter.

Abstract: The techniques described herein enable a head-mounted display device to use a fiducial marker to identify an Internet of Things (IoT) device. The head-mounted display device can use the identifier to establish a network connection with the IoT device. For example, the identifier can include an Internet Protocol (IP) address, a Bluetooth address, a cloud IoT identifier (e.g., AZURE hub IoT identifier), or another type of an identifier. By using an electronic paper display, the IoT device can dynamically generate and display a new fiducial marker when a new identifier is assigned to the IoT device or is generated by the IoT device. Consequently, the head-mounted display device can detect the fiducial marker and extract the identifier for the IoT device from the fiducial marker so that the identifier can be used to establish a network connection with the IoT device.

Abstract: A computer manages reconfigurations of a Byzantine fault-tolerant, distributed computing system comprising a network of first nodes adhering to a given consensus protocol at a reconfiguration service. The computer services the network by receiving a request of change of status of a second node with respect to the network. The computer informs at least a subset of the first nodes of the received request. The computer obtains an approval of the request, whereby at least a subset of the first nodes collectively approve the change of status as a result of contributions processed according to the given consensus protocol. The computer updates a configuration log according to request approvals obtained by servicing the network. The computer addresses requests of clients about configurations of the network based on the updated configuration log.

Abstract: An access point that selectively provides a multicast domain name system (mDNS) message is described. During operation, the access point may receive an mDNS message, where the mDNS message includes an identifier of a group (such as a user group). For example, the identifier of the group may be included in the mDNS message when the mDNS message includes discovery information for a service. Moreover, the identifier may specify the portion of a subnet in a wireless local area network (WLAN) in a geographic region, such as a room, a floor or a building. Then, the access point may determine whether the access point or an electronic device is included in the group. When the access point or the electronic device is in the group, the access point may selectively provide the mDNS message addressed to the electronic device. Otherwise, the access point may drop the mDNS message.
