Abstract: A method and apparatus for self-adjusting networks including internet-of-things (IoT) devices is provided. An exemplary system includes a source discovery system configured to identify if a source sending a message is in a database, and, if not, add the source to the database and rank the source by link metrics of messages received from the source. A sink discovery system is configured to identify if a sink receiving a message is in a database, and, if not, add the sink to the database. The sink discovery system is configured to rank the sink by link metrics of messages responded to by the sink. A dynamic mapping system is configured to create a dynamic map of communications between a source and a sink, and implement a self-healing subsystem to restore a loss of communications between a source and a sink.

Abstract: Methods, systems, articles of manufacture and apparatus to control data acquisition settings in edge-based deployments are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a model generator to transform sensor data to variance data, and differentiate the variance data to generate variance rate of change data. The example apparatus also includes a model analyzer to determine subsets of the variance rate of change data associated with respective data acquisition settings, determine a count of data points corresponding to the rate of change data, and determine an interval spacing value based on the count of the data points and a number of subsets of the variance rate of change data. The example apparatus also includes a solution identifier to calculate candidate solutions at respective ones of the data points corresponding to the interval spacing value, respective ones of the candidate solutions corresponding to respective data acquisition settings of a data acquisition system, and select one of the candidate solutions satisfying an operational threshold of the data acquisition system.

Abstract: In some examples, an apparatus uses a blockchain to agree on a time in an information exchange network. A first node includes a processor communicatively coupled to a storage device including instructions. When executed by the processor, the instructions cause the processor to verify a time estimate from each of one or more other node, to determine a time match of a time estimate of the first node with the time estimates from the one or more other node, and if the time match is determined, to commit to the blockchain a transaction that includes a time stamp.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to facilitate information exchange using publish-subscribe with blockchain. An example apparatus includes a broker including a processor and a distributed ledger module. The example distributed ledger module stores a message to be relayed by the broker from a publisher to a subscriber. The example processor is to at least compute, triggered by receipt of the message by the broker, a proof-of-work (PoW) function. The example processor is to at least verify the computation of the PoW function. The example processor is to at least transmit, upon verifying the computation of the PoW function, the message to the subscriber. The example processor is to at least process feedback received by the broker to update the PoW function.
