Abstract: Decentralized cloud service assessment includes using a self-executing data structure, an error confirmation capsule (ECC) generated in response to a cloud service failure experienced by a cloud service client (CSC). One or more technical performance indicia corresponding to the cloud service failure are extracted from the ECC in response to the validating. The one or more technical performance indicia are compared to one or more electronically stored predefined performance norms of a cloud service provider (CSP) associated with the cloud service failure. Based on the comparing, a comparative ranking of the CSP is determined. A graphical user interface display is generated based on comparative rankings of the CSP and one or more other CSPs.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling power modes of a vehicle and for providing passive entry to the vehicle. A sleep command can be sent from a central controller to multiple domain controllers to enter a sleep state. When the sleep command is received by a first domain controller, a sleep state is entered. When the sleep command is received by a second domain controller, a stealth state is entered. While in the stealth state, the second domain controller periodically wakes up from a sleep state to monitor a condition. In response to detecting a first condition, the second domain controller returns to the sleep state. In response to detecting a second condition, the second domain controller sends a notification of the second condition to the central controller.
