Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for sharing information among Mobility as a Service (MaaS) providers to improve service delivery while protecting data privacy. A first MaaS system receives, from a second MaaS system, a request to predict demand generated by the first MaaS system for user trips that transfer from the first MaaS system to the second MaaS system. The first MaaS system predicts, in response to the request, the demand generated by the first MaaS system using a predictor model executing at the first MaaS system on a trusted execution environment (TEE) to access data of the first MaaS system. The first MaaS system sends the predicted demand to the second MaaS system.

Abstract: System and techniques for network slice resiliency are described herein. An indication of a fault-attack-failure-outage (FAFO) event for a network slice may be received. Here, the network slice is one of multiple network slices. A capacity in a slice segment may be estimated to determine whether there is enough capacity to meet a service level agreement (SLA) of the multiple network slices based on the FAFO event. In this case, the slice segment is a set of physical resources shared by the multiple network slices. Operation of the slice segment may then be modified based on results from estimating the capacity in the slice segment to address impacts from the FAFO event.

Abstract: The subject matter described herein provides technical solutions for technical problems facing computing network security.

Unaffected network slices are isolated and recovery is initiated by quarantine physical and virtual network functions. An AI model is trained based on recent events detected by sensors disposed throughout the network to determine whether to quarantine network slices, move services to unaffected network slices, or initiate recovery. Once the network is stabilized, resources that are specifically allocated for recovery and services are released and the traffic moved back to the recovered network slices.
