Abstract: An online software platform (OSP) produces, by applying resource digital rules to previous relationship instance data of a primary entity data associated with one or more secondary entities of the domain, a domain resource regarding the domain. The OSP may then determine, by applying an alignment digital rule of the domain to the relationship instance data and the domain resource, whether or not an alignment condition of the domain is met, which indicates whether resources for relationship instances of the primary entity should have been remitted to the domain. If the alignment condition is not met, then the OSP may assemble proposal components, and communicate some of them to the domain on behalf of the primary entity to remit the resources, without initially communicating those proposal components that would reveal the identity of the primary entity.

Abstract: An example system includes a number of nodes each including a processor and a non-transitory machine readable medium storing a copy of an operating system image. Each copy of the operating system image may include a minimum set of artifacts of a cloud platform application and lifecycle manager program instructions that when executed by any of the nodes instantiate a lifecycle manager for the respective node.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for detecting and mitigating cabling issues with devices connected in industrial redundant networks. An agent runs on each device and generates information about traffic received at the corresponding device. The agent running on a node generates indicators of traffic received at each port, and error rates for traffic at each port. The agent running on a switch generates information about switch misconfiguration by collecting device identifiers for each port of the switch. The agents send the information to a network manager, which determines switch misconfigurations and wrong cabling from the received information. The network manager also mitigates cabling issues by sending a signal to the affected device(s) or sending a communication to mitigate the issue.

Abstract: In computing networks, end-to-end loss distributions are estimated according to the present disclosure. The loss distributions may be calculated based on loss values reported by nodes in the network along an end-to-end communication path, which may be identified by a route tracing process. The loss values for each node in the path for a given time window may be reduced by a rounding process, and the reduced values for adjacent nodes in the path may be iteratively multiplied with one another in a pairwise manner to generate an end-to-end loss value vector, where the resulting product from each iteration may be reduced by the rounding process. A graphical or other representation of the values in the end-to-end loss value vector indicating a distribution of losses experienced along the path may be output via a user interface.

Abstract: A system for preventing inadvertent or untimely parameter changes to an active online field device from a secondary system different from a distributed control system application providing control instructions to the field device, where the parameter changes may cause detrimental effects to a plant process or activity. A request for a parameter change from the secondary system may be intercepted before the request is received by a field device or a controller for evaluation by an operator of the distributed control system. The validation process may provide a plant operator with override authority to approve or deny a set of critical parameter changes to an active field device or other active plant device.

Abstract: Systems include one or more critical datacenter connected to behind-the-meter flexible datacenters. The critical datacenter is powered by grid power and not necessarily collocated with the flexible datacenters, which are powered “behind the meter.” When a computational operation to be performed at the critical datacenter is identified and determined that it can be performed more efficiently or advantageously at a flexible datacenter, the computational operation is instead obtained by the flexible datacenters for performance. The critical datacenter and flexible datacenters preferably share a dedicated communication pathway to enable high-bandwidth, low-latency, secure data transmissions. A queue system may be used to organize computational operations waiting for distribution to either the critical datacenter or the flexible datacenter.
