Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for managing devices in a wireless network includes defining, by a managing device, assignment rules for geographic areas in the wireless network. The method also includes retrieving, by the managing device, device parameters from a device, the device located in a selected geographic area. The method further includes determining, by the managing device, the selected geographic area of the device by comparing the device parameters with the assignment rules. The method further includes displaying, by the managing device, the device in the selected geographic area.

Abstract: An energy efficient scheduling system and method is disclosed. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving, with a processor, a request for execution of an application. The method also includes receiving, based on the request, a scheduling policy. Additionally, the method includes for each of a plurality of datacenters, determining one or more datacenter attributes associated with each respective datacenter. The method also includes selecting one of the plurality of datacenters to execute the application based, at least in part, on the request, the scheduling policy, and the datacenter attributes and executing the application at the selected datacenter.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for managing channels in a wireless network includes retrieving device parameters from a wireless network device communicating on a channel in the wireless network. The device parameters include a parameter indicative of a location of the wireless network device and a parameter indicative of the channel of the wireless network device. The channel is associated with a data transmission frequency. The method also includes generating a list of available channels for the wireless network device by determining a channel pattern in the wireless network. The method further includes specifying the channel on which the wireless network device should communicate based on the generated list of available channels to reduce channel interference to the wireless network device.
