Abstract: In some embodiments, infrastructure data and service data is received for a computing infrastructure. The infrastructure data indicates resources in the computing infrastructure, and the service data indicates services to be orchestrated across the computing infrastructure. An infrastructure capacity model is generated, which indicates a capacity of the computing infrastructure over a particular time window. Service-to-resource placement options are also identified, which indicate possible placements of the services across the resources over the particular time window. Resource inventory data is obtained, which indicates an inventory of resources that are available to add to the computing infrastructure during the particular time window. An infrastructure capacity plan is then generated, which indicates resource capacity allocation options over the time slots of the particular time window. Resource capacities for the services are then allocated in the computing infrastructure.

Abstract: Some aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for identifying potential violation conditions from electronic communications. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving data associated with an electronic communication and detecting, from the received data, and using a trainable model, an indicator of a potential violation condition, where the violation condition is associated with an activity that is a violation of a predetermined standard. The method also includes, responsive to detecting the indicator of the potential violation condition, marking the electronic communication as being associated with a potential violation condition, and presenting the potential violation condition to a user for review.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture for conditional classifier chaining in a constrained machine learning environment are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a classification controller to select a first model to be utilized to classify a first feature identified from sensor data. A memory controller is to copy the first model to a memory. A machine learning processor is to apply the first model to the first feature to create a first classification output, the first classification output indicating an identified class. The classification controller is to, in response to a determination that the first classification output identifies a second model to be used for classification, instruct the memory controller to load the second model into the memory. The machine learning processor is to apply the second model to the second feature to create a second classification output.

Abstract: Technologies for collaborative optimization include multiple Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices in communication over a network with an optimization server. Each IoT device selects an optimization strategy based on device context and user preferences. The optimization strategy may be full-local, full-global, or hybrid. Each IoT device receives raw device data from one or more sensors/actuators. If the full-local strategy is selected, the IoT device generates processed data based on the raw device data, generates optimization results based on the processed data, and generates device controls/settings for the sensors/actuators based on the optimization results. If the full-global strategy is selected, the optimization server performs those operations. If the hybrid strategy is selected, the IoT device generates the processed data and the device controls/settings, and the optimization server generates the optimization results.

Abstract: Orchestration and/or management of services on deployed computing, electronic, appliance and like devices are described. A service orchestration and/or management system (“SOMS”) may be configured to provide for orchestration and/or management of services to one or more deployed devices. The SOMS may obtain information from deployed devices, such as status, capabilities and service metadata. The SOMS may then encapsulate and store the obtained information for later use. The SOMS may also store service information, facilitate creation of services based on stored service definition meta-data, modeling or simulating a service prior to deployment, and deployment of a service to remotely deployed devices followed by activation to begin operation of the service. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
