Abstract: Methods and systems for transmission over a heterogeneous network include determining a path through a first network, including collecting quality of service (QoS) parameters for network devices in the path. The QoS parameters of the network devices are configured to provide a predetermined QoS assurance across the path. A network flow is transmitted from a network slice of a second network through the first network, along the path.

Abstract: A method for automatically adjusting camera parameters to improve video analytics accuracy during continuously changing environmental conditions is presented. The method includes capturing a video stream from a plurality of cameras, performing video analytics tasks on the video stream, the video analytics tasks defined as analytics units (AUs), applying image processing to the video stream to obtain processed frames, filtering the processed frames through a filter to discard low-quality frames and dynamically fine-tuning parameters of the plurality of cameras. The fine-tuning includes passing the filtered frames to an AU-specific proxy quality evaluator, employing State-Action-Reward-State-Action (SARSA) reinforcement learning (RL) computations to automatically fine-tune the parameters of the plurality of cameras, and based on the reinforcement computations, applying a new policy for an agent to take actions and learn to maximize a reward.

Abstract: A method for tracing individuals through physical spaces that includes registering cameras in groupings relating a physical space. The method further includes performing local video monitoring including a video sensor input that outputs frames from inputs from recording with the cameras in the groupings, a face detection application for extracting faces from the output frames, and a face matching application for matching faces extracted from the output frames to a watchlist, and a local movement monitor that assigns tracks to the matched faces. The method further includes performing a global monitor including a biometrics monitor for preparing the watchlist of faces, the watchlist of faces being updated when a new face is detected by the cameras in the groupings, and a global movement monitor that combines the outputs from the assigned tracks to the matched faces to launch a report regarding individual population traveling to the physical spaces.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes obtaining a usecase specification and a usecase runtime specification corresponding to the usecase. The usecase includes a plurality of applications each being associated with a micro-service providing a corresponding functionality within the usecase for performing a task. The method further includes determining that at least one instance of the at least one of the plurality of applications can be reused during execution of the usecase based on the usecase specification and the usecase runtime specification, and reusing the at least one instance during execution of the usecase.

Abstract: Methods and systems for authentication include determining, at a first worker system, that a master system that stores a current authentication-list cannot be reached by a first network. Authentication is performed on an authentication request using a previously stored copy of the authentication-list at the first worker system. The authentication includes facial recognition that is performed on detected face images for a first time window, before receiving the authentication request, and for a second time window, after receiving the authentication request. Authentication removes matching detected face images after completing an authentication request to prevent other individuals from using a same identifier. Access is granted to a secured area responsive to the authentication.

Abstract: Systems and methods for swapping out and in pinned memory regions between main memory and a separate storage location in a system, including establishing an offload buffer in an interposing library; swapping out pinned memory regions by transferring offload buffer data from a coprocessor memory to a host processor memory, unregistering and unmapping a memory region employed by the offload buffer from the interposing library, wherein the interposing library is pre-loaded on the coprocessor, and collects and stores information employed during the swapping out. The pinned memory regions are swapped in by mapping and re-registering the files to the memory region employed by the offload buffer, and transferring data of the offload buffer data from the host memory back to the re-registered memory region.

Abstract: A method for performing resource orchestration for microservices-based 5G applications in a dynamic, heterogenous, multi-tiered compute and network environment is presented. The method includes managing compute requirements and network requirements of a microservices-based application jointly by positioning computing nodes distributed across multiple layers, across edges and at a central cloud, identifying and modeling coupling relationships between compute and network resources for a plurality of microservices, when only application-level requirements are provided, to build coupling functions, solving a multi-objective optimization problem to identify how each of the plurality of microservices are deployed in the dynamic, heterogenous, multi-tiered compute and network environment by employing the coupling functions to jointly optimize resource usage of the compute and network resources across different compute and network slices, and deriving optimal joint network and compute resource allocation and function placement decisions.
