    摘要: A hardware processor may be coupled to a communication network and receive charging requests and discharging requests from a plurality of prosumer facilities via the communication network. One or more energy storage systems may be coupled to an energy grid and able to charge from and discharge to the energy grid, and may communicate with the hardware processor via the communication network. Based on the charging requests and discharging requests, an energy schedule may be generated. The energy schedule may include a first set of the prosumer facilities from which charge requests are accepted, and a second set of prosumer facilities from which discharge requests are accepted. One or several energy storage systems may be controlled or triggered to charge or discharge repeatedly via the energy grid according to an updated energy schedule (e.g., regularly updated).

    摘要: A state of a driver operating a vehicle based at least on a rest pattern of the driver and a driver safety score and vehicle characteristic associated with the vehicle are determined. A risk of a planned route is received based on environment information. A safety risk for at least one location along the planned route is determined based on the received risk. Based on the safety risk, a use of available driver attention determined based on the state of the driver, possible modification of the planned route and vehicle state may be planned that minimize the safety risk. It may be determined that the driver is approaching a location along the planned route having a safety risk. Responsive to determining that the driver is approaching a location along the planned route having a safety risk, alert may be caused to be sent to the driver.

    摘要: A technique relates to communication resource allocation. A computer system monitors a communication between a conversational entity communication channel and a user device. A type of the communication associated with the user device is determined based on the communication. A replacement communication channel to replace the conversational entity communication channel is determined, in response to the type of the communication. The replacement communication channel is coupled to the user device in place of the conversational entity communication channel.

    摘要: A system, method and program product for managing a moving peer-to-peer network. A system is provided that a node tracking system that collects tracking information of nodes in a moving P2P network including position, connection status and computation capability; a network representation system that stores the tracking information in a dynamic graph that specifies nodes and connections between the nodes; a task manager for receiving a task submitted by a requesting node for a service implemented by a provider node; and a network allocation system that determines and allocates an optimal path back and forth between the requesting node and the provider node, wherein the optimal path is selected to minimize an overall wall-time, and wherein the network allocation system estimates future positions of moving nodes for determining the optimal path.

    摘要: Mitigating network saturation includes detecting reconnection of device to a network after a period of disconnection. A set of applications residing on the device is queried for estimated data associated with the application awaiting transfer. A response is received from a first application of the set of applications including a first estimated data awaiting transfer from the first application. Responsive to determining that a response has not been received from a second application, a second estimated data awaiting transfer from the second application is determined based upon a learned data usage model for the application. A total expected data transfer amount is determined based upon the first estimated data and the second estimated data. Responsive to the determining that the total expected data transfer amount is not less than a threshold value, A priority of the data transfer for the first application and the second application is determined.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a locally powered smart device. A non-limiting example of the locally powered smart device includes a sensor, an energy storage communicatively coupled to the sensor, a processor communicatively coupled to the sensor and the energy storage. The processor is configured to control the sensor and the energy storage to perform multiple iterations of a tamper mitigation process, wherein each of the multiple iterations of the tamper mitigation process includes an authentication process that includes the transmission of authentication communications between the sensor and the energy storage. The processor is further configured to initiate an anti-tampering protocol based at least in part on a determination that the authentication process was unsuccessful.
