Abstract: A service repository is used to store at least one service in association with service metadata describing service requirements of the service. The service repository also may store one or more platform-specific service executables. A service mapper is used to determine device metadata associated with each of a plurality of devices, where the device metadata provides device characteristics of the devices. The service mapper may thus map the service to a selected device of the plurality of devices for deployment thereon, based on a matching of corresponding elements of the service requirements and the device characteristics. The service mapper also may re-map the service between devices to maintain a quality and reliability of the service.

Abstract: Systems and methods allow service-to-device mapping by which services are mapped onto best-suited smart items selected from a plurality of smart items of a sensor network. As part of the mapping, and/or subsequent thereto, a deployment of the service(s) onto the smart items is initiated. However, in some cases, the deployment may fail, or may only partially succeed. In such cases, one or more conditions of the deployment may be altered to obtain a modified, allowable deployment condition, so that the deployment may then proceed. As a result, users may achieve a desired result in a fast, convenient, and reliable manner, even when executing the deployment remotely or automatically.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described that provide a system monitor component, e.g., for a sensor network, which may include, e.g., a server component that is continuously running and monitoring zero or more networks consisting of (possibly wireless) devices, where each network may be executing a different communications protocol, such as a proprietary, platform-dependent protocol. The system monitor may maintain a system model of the networks. The system monitor may be connected with the networks through a message transport system that routes any occurring messages in a common or standard communications protocol, as well as message handlers that access either platform-abstracting gateways or the proprietary messages that the devices of one or more of the networks may use.

Abstract: An embodiment includes a prediction system for initiating a data transfer to a decision system. The prediction system is configured to identify a decision, the decision being a result of a computation of the decision system according to a set of predefined rules and input data. The prediction system is further configured to identify predicted input data representing a portion of the input data and to initiate a transfer of the predicted input data to the decision system prior to the computation of the decision.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to programming, configuring, and integrating networked embedded devices with other applications. Particular embodiments include an architecture having an application model layer that integrates the networked embedded devices with business application systems, by allowing the devices to be expressed as part of a business application concept. In certain embodiments, an intermediate device programming layer provides a network-centric programming abstraction, relieving the programmer of the details of low-level, node-centric programming. Finally, a self-optimizing run-time system layer adapts to the specific conditions in the deployed network embedded devices, by optimizing e.g. communication patterns and resource consumption based upon input from the higher layer(s). Embodiments may facilitate integration of networked embedded devices with the back ends of business applications, and may provide a unified extensible programming framework simplifying development of applications for network embedded devices.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for real-time data transfer between sensor or actuator devices and higher-level applications.In one aspect, an integration engine receives a set of rules from an external application and receives item data including item identifiers from one or more tag readers, each item identifier being read from a digital tag bound to a physical item. The integration engine uses the rules and item data to determine in real time which subset of the item data to furnish to the external application.In another aspect, the integration engine receives from the external application configuration data for controlling an actuator device. The integration engine converts the configuration data to a format compatible with the actuator device; and furnishes the converted configuration data in real time to the actuator device.
