    Abstract: A method and apparatus for extending an operational lifetime of an Internet of Things (IoT) device. In an example apparatus including the IoT device, the IoT device includes a communications device configured to transmit a report from a message dispatcher and a power monitor to monitor a reserve power level. An interval adjuster controls the timing of the report based, at least in part, on the reserve power level.

    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and devices which perform automatic selection of an application-layer communication protocol based upon one or more communication characteristics of the sending application and one or more characteristics of the network connection between the sending device and the recipient. The selection of which protocol to use may be made on a message-by-message basis, periodically at various intervals (e.g., every predetermined time period), once upon application initialization, or the like. By dynamically selecting an application-layer communications protocol, an application may leverage the advantages of a specific protocol given the communication characteristics of the application and characteristics of the network connection at that time.

    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.

    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: Various systems and methods for automatic device configuration are described herein. A system for automatic device configuration comprises a performance monitor module to monitor, at a computing device, performance of the computing device during a period while the computing device communicates on a network using a current network interface of the computing device, a policy enforcement module to compare the performance of the computing device during the period with a performance policy installed on the computing device, and determine that the performance violates a threshold, the threshold provided in the performance policy. The system also includes a network configuration module to reconfigure a network configuration in response to the determining that the performance violates the threshold by disabling the current network interface and enabling a replacement network interface from a plurality of network interfaces available on the computing device.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, and methods related to bridging communication networks. A computing device may identify one or more signals at one or more communication interfaces in accordance with one or more communication standards. The computing device may select one or more available frequency segments from a frequency spectrum database. The computing device may transform the one or more signals into one or more converted signals for transmission on a backhaul link, the backhaul link being established for two-way data communication using the one or more available frequency segments. The computing device may cause to send the one or more converted signals using the one or more available frequency segments.
