Abstract: A method for verifying a worker agent includes receiving, by a core node, from a worker agent, a capability description describing a plurality of tasks and, for each of the plurality of tasks, (i) at least one parameter of the task and (ii) an outcome expected to be produced by performing the task. The method includes generating, based on the capability description, a plurality of request-output pairs, each representing a particular request and a corresponding baseline output expected to be produced upon processing the request. The core node receives, from the worker agent, a plurality of outputs, each of the plurality of outputs generated by the worker agent and corresponding to one of the plurality of request-output pairs. The core node compares the plurality of baseline outputs to the plurality of actual outputs to produce comparison output and determines whether to approve the worker agent based on the comparison output.

Abstract: An Artificial Intelligence (AI) based traffic management system identifies traffic entities including vehicles and people in image data streams obtained from a plurality of cameras installed at traffic signals at an intersection. The traffic management system includes different object detection models for identifying different types of vehicles from the image data streams.

Abstract: An example methodology may be executed by a sidecar proxy attached to a microservice. The method includes intercepting an outgoing request message from the microservice, saving the request message to a first database, and initiating a timer specifying a predetermined time for retrying the request message. The method also includes, responsive to a determination that the timer expired, incrementing a current attempt count for the request message, wherein the current attempt count being a count of retries of the request message, and responsive to a determination that the current attempt exceeds a maximum retry attempts permitted for the request message, saving the request message to a second database. The method also includes, responsive to a determination that the current attempt count does not exceed the maximum retry attempts permitted, retrieving the request message from the first database, retrying the request message, and initiating the timer for the request message.
