Abstract: Generally discussed herein are systems, devices, and methods for data management in a reverse content data network (rCDN). A component of the rCDN may include a memory to hold content received from a first sensor device of a plurality of sensor devices of the rCDN and first attributes that describe properties of the content. The component may include processing circuitry to receive second content from a second sensor device of the plurality of sensor devices, the second content including a plurality of second attributes that describe properties of the second content, and forward, in response to a determination, based on the first and second attributes, that there is insufficient space to store the second content on the memory, the second content to a node of the rCDN that is fewer hops away from a backend cloud than the component.

Abstract: System and techniques for container provisioning are described herein. A request to instantiate a container image may be made. This request specifies a name for the container image where the name is created through a first defined generation process applied to contents of the container image. A container manifest may be received from a local copy of a distributed container directory. The container manifest includes a set of entries for container layer images of the container image. Here, the set of entries are named by a second defined generation process applied to respective container layer images. Then, container layer images may be retrieved using names from the set of entries and the container image instantiated using the retrieved container layer images.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for optimizing the operations of an ICN, particularly for an ICN with clustered nodes. A cluster head node may function as an orchestrator and a coordinator for efficient caching, routing, and computing and for co-existence of ICN and IP nodes in the network. A content store of an ICN router may include an indication of the time after which data expires and the new data is to be swapped in place of the expired data after that point in time. Digital rights management (DRM) enforcement is provided by managing access to a DRM engine in at least one of the ICN nodes in a cluster. Congestion control is provided by minimizing the number of ICN scoped interest requests and thereby minimizing the potentially high volume of data responses. These techniques optimize interest packet forwarding and processing through collaboration with neighboring ICN nodes.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for information centric network (ICN) high definition (HD) map distribution are described herein. For example, a vehicle may detect a map tile event (e.g., moving into an area for which the vehicle does not have an up-to-date map tile). The vehicle may transmit an interest packet a name for the map tile via an ICN and receiving the map tile in a data packet sent in response to the interest packet.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for managing container and virtual machine locations for a cloud deployed service are described herein. A system includes a configuration generator to: obtain a plurality of constraints from a constraint database; generate a plurality of configuration plans, each of the plurality of configuration plans including the plurality of constraints, each of the plurality of constraints having a value selected from a range of permissible values for the respective constraint; and transmit the plurality of configuration plans to an orchestrator system, the orchestrator system to sequentially instantiate a cloud service based on multiple configuration plans of the plurality of configuration plans; and a performance evaluator to: measure a performance metric of the cloud service as instantiated by each of the multiple configuration plans; and coordinate with the orchestrator system to optimize the performance of the cloud service.

Abstract: Generally discussed herein are systems, devices, and methods for managing content of an information centric network (ICN). A component of an ICN can include a memory including an extended content store that includes content from at least one other component of the ICN, and first attributes of the content, the first attributes including a content popularity value that indicates a number of requests for the content, and processing circuitry to increment the content popularity value in response to a transmission of a first content packet that includes the content, the first content packet transmitted in response to receiving an interest packet.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for Internet of Things (IoT) network sensor fusion are provided herein. A system for providing sensor collaboration includes: a sensor command circuit to access first-tier sensor data from a first-tier sensor associated with a user; a risk assessment circuit to use the first-tier sensor data to determine a risk rating, the risk rating representing a potential risk to the user; a user context circuit to determine a user context from the first-tier sensor data, wherein the user context circuit and the sensor command circuit are to selectively access second-tier sensor data from a second-tier sensor based on the user context; and a rule evaluation circuit to access a rule database to identify a rule corresponding to the risk rating and user context, and execute the rule when the rule is identified.

Abstract: System and techniques for distributed computing resources in an information centric network (ICN) are described herein. A request may be received at a node in the ICN. The request may include identification of a computing resource set and a timing threshold. Resources that correspond to a member of the computing resource set may be locked. The node may communicate a response to the request. The response may include an indication that performance of the member of the computing resource is possible and a time-period in which confirmation may be received.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for information centric network (ICN) interworking are described herein. For example, a request may be received at a convergence layer of a node. Here, the request originates from an application on the node. A network protocol, from several available to the node, may be determined to transmit the request. The node then transmits the request via the selected network protocol.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for information centric network (ICN) island bridging are described herein. A request at an island domain node in an information centric network may be received. The request may include a data identifier. AN inter-domain discovery may be used to identify a destination domain corresponding to the data identifier. The request may be modified to create an inter-domain request. The inter-domain request may then be communicated to an inter-domain information centric network.
