Abstract: CoAP network nodes may leverage context awareness to take autonomous action to adjust network operations. Context-aware procedures may be pre-configured, established by management entities, or negotiated between nodes, and include parameters for the monitoring and evaluation of data, as well has triggers for taking action. By monitoring requests to observe a resource, a node may determine when a resource should transition to multicast or unicast notification, and dynamically manage multicast group membership based on observation registrations and/or cancellations. By monitoring resource requests, a proxy may determine when to proactively refresh a cached representation of a resource. By monitoring timeouts and/or retransmissions, a client may dynamically adjust a timeout value to optimize communications.

Abstract: The concept of a service layer message template is introduced, which may be a request template or a response template. Message templates may be created and stored at the service layer. Each message template may contain a set of request or response parameters and their values. Once in place, an application can send a request to the service layer that does not include the request parameters contained in the message template (i.e. request template); instead, a message template identifier may be sent. Since request parameters are included in the message template and stored at the service layer, communication overhead between the service layer and the application (or another service layer) may be reduced.

Abstract: Techniques and systems for implementing a general extensible layer mapping approach that maps between integrated circuit (IC) design database layers and process layers are described. A first IC design layout having in-design layers can be converted into a second IC design layout having derived layers, wherein said converting comprises mapping the in-design layers to the derived layers by applying a set of layer derivation rules to shapes in the IC design layout, and wherein the set of layer derivation rules implements a one-to-many mapping between the in-design layers and the derived layers. Next, a one-to-one mapping between the derived layers and process layers used in a parasitic extraction tool can be generated. Parasitic extraction on the IC design layout then be performed by providing the second IC design layout and the one-to-one mapping to the parasitic extraction tool.
