Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to the providing for mutual authentication and secure distributed processing of multi-party data. In particular, an experiment may be submitted to include the distributed processing of private data owned by multiple distrustful entities. Private data providers may authorize the experiment and securely transfer the private data for processing by trusted computing nodes in a pool of trusted computing nodes.

Abstract: A method to adjust operation of a network controller of a device is disclosed. The method may include receiving contextual data from a sensor communicatively coupled to the device. The method may also include analyzing the contextual data to determine the context of the device. The method may also include modifying the network controller operation based on the analyzed contextual data.

Abstract: Embodiments of service discovery in a wireless network involve an Access Point (AP) proxy service to represent service providers. The AP manages service provider information, which is provided in response to service requests from service consumers. The AP proxy capability is advertised as a broadcast message in the wireless network.

Abstract: The present invention provides a live time-shift system based on the P2P technology and a method thereof. The system includes a coding server, a live server and a control server arranged at a server end. The method includes: splitting, by the coding server, a received live video data stream into fixed-size live video packets; and then adding live channel information and time information to each of the live video packets; issuing the coded live video packets to the live server, and sending current control information to the control server; continuously obtaining, by the live server, the live video packets from the coding server; upon requesting viewing of the video data, first sending, by the client, a video request to the control server; returning, by the control server, storage information of the video data to the client, and obtaining, by the client, the video data through an established data link.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides a method of server energy conservation in networks, comprising integrating a layer-2 service discovery proxy with an access point (AP) in the network, wherein the AP advertises the services on behalf of servers in the network to enable the servers to go to a low power state and conserve energy.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to improve scanning operations in wireless networks are described. In one embodiment, a wireless device transmits a scan request to an access point controller to cause the access point controller to determine one or more future neighboring access points of the wireless device. Other embodiments are also described.
