Abstract: The disclosure provides examples of systems and methods for adaptive load balancing, prioritization, bandwidth reservation, and/or routing in a network communication system. In various embodiments, the disclosed methods can provide reliable multi-path load-balancing, overflow, and/or failover services for routing over a variety of network types. In some embodiments, disconnected routes can be rebuilt by selecting feasible connections. The disclosure also provides examples of methods for filtering information in peer-to-peer network connections and assigning permission levels to nodes in peer-to-peer network connections. Certain embodiments described herein may be applicable to mobile, low-powered, and/or complex sensor systems.

Abstract: Embodiments of an application-independent and component-isolated system and system of systems framework are provided. In some embodiments, a Distributed Integration Operating Schema (“DIOS”) framework allows integration of disparate software and hardware components and permits addition, removal, modification, failure of, and information exchange among such components. In some embodiments, DIOS uses an information model that comprises a user-defined hierarchy of information objects to facilitate communication of information among agents of a control system.
