Abstract: A method for provisioning a computer includes providing a graph that defines relationships between one or more hardware components of a plurality of computers and component characteristics of the one or more hardware components, and relationships between one or more applications and requirements of the one or more applications. The method further includes receiving a selection of an application and determining, via the graph, whether at least one computer with hardware components capable of meeting the requirements of the application exists. If a computer exits, the method also includes communicating the application to the computer; triggering the computer to execute the application; and communicating, from the computer, data processed by the application to an external system.

Abstract: Increases in global population have led to unprecedented challenges in meeting every day needs. Vehicle parking is one such challenge given the limited parking spaces available at any destination, whether at work, at a shopping center, or any other location. A parking resource analysis system includes a stepwise simulator system and a role based access system. The stepwise simulator system tests, simulates, and tunes specific models for issuing parking control actions with respect to a specific lot. The role based access system may be physically located at the parking lot. The role based access system implements dynamic loading or dynamic access of role specific models for issuing parking control actions tailored to the role of the particular individual searching for a parking space.

Abstract: A device intelligence architecture configures and controls on-site devices and performs environment monitoring to facilitate effective device functionality. The architecture facilitates efficient use of devices (e.g., robotics) in an unstructured and dynamic environment, which will allow deployments in many more environments than is currently possible. The architecture stores and shares information between segregated devices to avoid the silo effect of vendor specific stacks. The architecture also models capabilities of devices and maps actions to intelligence packages to deploy a specific intelligence package to the device. The architecture also implements distributed processing. For instance, computationally intensive tasks may be offloaded to the back end processing, with action updates resulting from the processing pushed to the devices.
