Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to coordinate node level adaptations. An example apparatus includes an adaptation support determiner to determine if an adaptation in an adaptation message is supported by a first device, an extractor to, in response to the determination that the adaptation in the adaptation message is supported by the first device, calculate a start-time for the first device based on (a) a transit duration of the adaptation message, (b) an execution duration of the adaptation in the adaptation message, and (c) a timestamp of when the second device sent the adaptation message, and an initiate a timer value for the first device and the second device, the timer value being a function of the start-time. The example apparatus further includes an installer to, in response to the timer value satisfying a threshold, execute the adaptation to reduce disruptions in the CPS.

Abstract: A split structure design for an internet of things (IoT) device including a control IoT device (CID) and a sensor IoT device (SID). An example of an apparatus provides a CID including a power transmitter to power a SID through a barrier and a control data transceiver to communicate with the SID through the barrier. The CID includes a power adjustor to increase a power transmission to the SID in steps, and an intermodule communicator to determine if communications have been established with the sensor IoT, and, if not, instruct the power adjustor to increase the power transmission to the SID by a step.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling message schema and size for internet-of-things (IoT) devices is provided. An exemplary method includes determining if a cost function for a new schema and message size combination is less than the cost function of a current schema and message size combination by calculating the cost function for each of a plurality of schema and message size combinations, and determining if the cost function for one of the plurality of schema and message size combinations is lower than a current schema and message size combination.

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: A method and apparatus for controlling message schema and size for internet-of-things (IoT) devices is provided. An exemplary method includes receiving an orchestration message from a downstream device, and calculating a new message size for a current schema, based, at least in part, on the orchestration message. A data message using the new message size and the current schema.

Abstract: Orchestration and/or management of services on deployed computing, electronic, appliance and like devices are described. A service orchestration and/or management system (“SOMS”) may be configured to provide for orchestration and/or management of services to one or more deployed devices. The SOMS may obtain information from deployed devices, such as status, capabilities and service metadata. The SOMS may then encapsulate and store the obtained information for later use. The SOMS may also store service information, facilitate creation of services based on stored service definition meta-data, modeling or simulating a service prior to deployment, and deployment of a service to remotely deployed devices followed by activation to begin operation of the service. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to perform remote monitoring are disclosed. Some example methods include adjusting an image capture rate at which an image sensor captures images based on a difference image containing differences between a first image of a first set of objects and a second image of a second set of objects. Example methods also include reducing a file size of the difference image using an edge detection technique and prioritizing one or more of a set of frames based on an amount of information contained in the frames. The frames are subdivisions of the image. In further example methods, the first image is taken at a first time and the second image is taken at a second, later time, and the method includes subtracting the first image from the second image to generate the difference image.
