Abstract: A role mutable file system provides high availability processing of network requests with systems that can seamlessly switch between server and client operational roles. The file system includes a replicated storage pool associated with each server/client system where only the storage pool of the system in the server role is active. A role mutable file system (RMFS) manager on each system seamlessly switches roles between server and client to service network requests from either system to prevent interruption of service to system users.

Abstract: A decision support engine allows defining multiple events and corresponding actions. An event could be, for example, a decision that is at variance with what the professional usually suggests, or at variance with standard practice of other professionals. Suitable action can be taken when an event occurs. Examples of suitable actions include, for example, to notify the professional, to notify the customer or patient, to notify an administrator, and to log all data related to the decision that caused the event. The decision support engine receives biometric input from one or more biometric sensors worn by the professional, and can thus log the physical state of the professional at the time the event occurs. For each event, the professional's biometric data is logged and can be analyzed to determine statistical correlations between the events corresponding to the professional and the professional's physical state.

Abstract: A mutation coordinator processes in-flight file operations in a role mutable file system to provide high availability data storage and uninterrupted network request processing. The mutation coordinator uses a container with data received from in-flight operations as they progress past checkpoints to enable the file system to seamlessly mutate between server and client operational roles. The checkpoint functions determine whether the operation should halt at the checkpoint when a mutation begins and log information in the container to reflect the progress of the operation. The halted operations are then completed on the new server when the mutation is complete.

Abstract: Look-wide information is used to detect risks and malicious activity towards autonomous vehicles in an autonomous vehicle network. In some embodiments, a server computer receives data from a first autonomous vehicle based on look-wide information gathered using one or more sensors of the first autonomous vehicle. The server computer establishes a potential event zone based on the data received from the first autonomous vehicle. The server computer communicates to a second autonomous vehicle information instructing the second autonomous vehicle to gather look-wide information using one or more sensors of the second autonomous vehicle while the second autonomous vehicle is traveling in the potential event zone. In some embodiments, the server computer marks the potential event zone as a malicious event zone in response to determining visual information gathered in response to an event trigger matches visual information gathered in response to a subsequent event trigger.

Abstract: A system and method for managing an ad hoc network are disclosed. A boundary for an area to be monitored is defined for the ad hoc network. A number of devices connect with each other to form the ad hoc network. Devices can enter and leave the network as they come into proximity with one of the members of the network. Data is transmitted between the members of the network. This data can include a carrier rating and a data rating about each member of the network as well as data about other devices that the transmitting device had previously come into contact with. The data held by one member about other members is stored and can later be retrieved.
