    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, an apparatus, and a computer-implemented method to select respective physical infrastructure devices of an edge computing system to implement services requested by respective service-requesting clients. The computer-readable storage medium includes computer-readable instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to perform operations comprising, for each candidate physical infrastructure device, calculating a utility score corresponding to each of the services requested, wherein: the utility score corresponds to one of each of the respective service-requesting clients or each subgroup of a plurality of subgroups of the respective service-requesting clients. The utility score is based on location-related attributes and resource-related attributes of said each candidate physical infrastructure device, resource-related attributes of said each of the services requested, and location-related attributes and movement-related attributes of one of said each of the respective service-requesting clients or said each subgroup of the plurality of subgroups of the respective service-requesting clients.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to facilitate end-user defined policy management. An example apparatus includes an edge node interface to detect addition of a networked user device to a service gateway, and to extract publish information from the networked user device. The example apparatus also includes a device context manager to identify tag parameters based on the publish information from the networked user device, and a tag manager to prohibit unauthorized disclosure of the networked user device by setting values of the tag parameters based on a user profile associated with a type of the networked user device.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for scene analysis including the use of acoustic imaging and computer audio vision processes for monitoring applications. In some embodiments, an acoustic image device is utilized with a microphone array, image sensor, acoustic image controller, and a controller. In some cases, the controller analyzes at least a portion of the spatial spectrum within the acoustic image data to detect sound variations by identifying regions of pixels having intensities exceeding a particular threshold. In addition, the controller can detect two or more co-occurring sound events based on the relative distance between pixels with intensities exceeding the threshold. The resulting data fusion of image pixel data, audio sample data, and acoustic image data can be analyzed using computer audio vision, sound/voice recognition, and acoustic signature techniques to recognize/identify audio and visual features associated with the event and to empirically or theoretically determine one or more conditions causing each event.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, infrastructure data and service data is received for a computing infrastructure. The infrastructure data indicates resources in the computing infrastructure, and the service data indicates services to be orchestrated across the computing infrastructure. An infrastructure capacity model is generated, which indicates a capacity of the computing infrastructure over a particular time window. Service-to-resource placement options are also identified, which indicate possible placements of the services across the resources over the particular time window. Resource inventory data is obtained, which indicates an inventory of resources that are available to add to the computing infrastructure during the particular time window. An infrastructure capacity plan is then generated, which indicates resource capacity allocation options over the time slots of the particular time window. Resource capacities for the services are then allocated in the computing infrastructure.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture for conditional classifier chaining in a constrained machine learning environment are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a classification controller to select a first model to be utilized to classify a first feature identified from sensor data. A memory controller is to copy the first model to a memory. A machine learning processor is to apply the first model to the first feature to create a first classification output, the first classification output indicating an identified class. The classification controller is to, in response to a determination that the first classification output identifies a second model to be used for classification, instruct the memory controller to load the second model into the memory. The machine learning processor is to apply the second model to the second feature to create a second classification output.
