Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for balancing energy usage. A method can include obtaining energy consumption patterns of a plurality of devices that consume energy in an environment from a plurality of data sources. The method can further include analyzing operational patterns of the plurality of devices that are dynamically controllable and associated with the environment to generate device data. The method can further include building and maintaining multiple domain ontologies for sustainability profiles. The method can further include developing a profile for energy consumption for at least one device of the plurality of devices, wherein the profile is based on the energy consumption patterns, the device data, and at least one sustainability profile of the multiple domain ontologies.

Abstract: Devices, networks, systems, methods, and processes for standardizing power usage measurement in various devices, components, etc. Measurement methods for power verification in AC or DC input power are often over simplified or done with a method that achieves inaccurate or highly suspect results. Different testing methods for the same device to be verified are often used, resulting in lack of consistency and any sense of accuracy and/or relevance. Part of this problem is the lack of unified electrical measuring and changes in operation based on network usage and ambient temperature. Thus, various embodiments described herein are directed to generating standardized power usage data and charts that can indicate a more accurate power usage level of an apparatus. This can allow for more effective network managing decisions and increase overall network sustainability.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device transmits data characterizing a holographic image to a physical environment. A visible rendering of the holographic image is created in the physical environment. The device uses a reasoning engine to make an inference regarding a state of the physical environment based on sensor data captured in the physical environment indicative of one or more real-time characteristics of the physical environment. In response to the inference, the device adjusts the holographic image. Then, the device transmits data characterizing the adjusted holographic image to the physical environment, and a visible rendering of the adjusted holographic image is created in the physical environment.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device receives sensor data from a plurality of sensors. The device detects, using a semantic reasoning engine, a disruption to a first shipment based on the sensor data. The device infers, using the semantic reasoning engine, that one or more other shipments are related to the first shipment. The device initiates a mitigation action for the disruption that is performed with respect to the one or more other shipments.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a service in a network performs machine learning-based clustering of sensor data from a plurality of sensors in the network, to form sensor data clusters. The service maps the data clusters to symbolic clusters using a geometric conceptual space. The service infers a domain specific language from the symbolic clusters and from a domain specific ontology. The service performs, based on a query structured using the domain specific language, a lookup using the domain specific ontology to form a query response. The service sends the query response that comprises a result of the performed lookup via the network.
