Abstract: An indication of an application-related objective is received at a first agent associated with a first device. One or more meta-language based descriptions comprising device data stored in a data store are used to identify a second device from a plurality of devices to help the first device to achieve the application-related objective. At least in part by exchanging with a second agent associated with the second device one or more programmatically determined bids and responses to bids, a mutually compatible set of configurations for the first device and the second device to cooperate with each other are determined to help achieve the application-related objective. The mutually compatible set of configurations comprising parameters are agreed upon by the first device and the second device. The first device and the second device are configured based at least in part on the mutually compatible set of configurations.

Abstract: Collaborative computing and electronic records are disclosed. An entity that may be able to help achieve an objective is discovered and a connection to the entity established. A meta-language is used to exchange with the entity a description of the objective and a description of the entity. The meta-language is used to negotiate with the entity a contract to help achieve the objective. In the event a contract to help achieve the objective is reached, performing a self-configuration in accordance with the contract.

Abstract: A wireless communication system is disclosed. A data store stores for each of a plurality of nodes, each node comprising a wireless communication system element, a node image data comprising metadata about or otherwise associated with the node. In various embodiments, the data store has the capability to create and support an organically changing schema, and provides a mechanism to propagate changes to the schema or data, but only as necessary. A processor receives an indication of an objective and uses node image data stored in the data store to identify programmatically from among the plurality of nodes a node to help achieve the objective and to determine the configuration of the node.

Abstract: Image data of a node with which an orchestration module is associated is received. The node is an electronic device and the image data of the node is received in a language associated with the node. The image data of the node with which the orchestration module is associated is translated into a meta-language associated with an orchestrator network comprising the orchestration module and one or more other orchestration modules associated one or more corresponding nodes. A scope of information to provide from the orchestration module to the one or more other orchestration modules associated with one or more corresponding nodes is determined. The determined information is communicated to the one or more other orchestration modules in the meta-language understood by the orchestration module and the one or more other orchestration modules associated with one or more corresponding nodes.

Abstract: A combination of a door, a door-jamb and a magneto-mechanical-latching-assembly is provided. The door is mounted to close an opening adjacent to the door-jamb. The latching-assembly operates to secure the door in a closed position. The latching-assembly includes a latch-component and an actuator-component. The latch-component is associated with one of the door and door-jamb. The latch-component includes a latch that includes a latch-magnet having a latch-magnet-polar-axis. The latch is mounted relative to the latch-component to reciprocate along a substantially horizontal and linear latching-path between an extended-latching-position and a retracted-non-latching-position. The actuator-component is associated with the other of the door and door-jamb. The actuator-component includes an actuator that includes an actuator-magnet having an actuator-magnet-polar-axis.
