This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for an internet of things (IoT) device. In some implementations, the IoT device can select an operating role for the first IoT device in a local network. The operating role may be selected from between an endpoint role and a relay role. The operating role may be dynamically selected by the first IoT device based whether the relay role would enhance connectivity for a client device that is within a wireless range of the first IoT device. The IoT device may participate in a self-organizing network (SON) and may coordinate with other devices in the SON to enhance wireless coverage for the client device based on a position of the client device relative to the one or more IoT devices.

A process for configuring hardware in a network environment, comprising retrieving a catalog index using a processor, selecting a catalog for a new hardware component, selecting a plurality of software applications for the new hardware product from the catalog, determining a context for the new hardware component, wherein the context identifies one or more variable parameters for one or more of a plurality of software applications and installing the plurality of software applications on the hardware product as a function of the context.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a user input based on a plurality of modalities at the client system, wherein at least one of the modalities of the user input is a visual modality, determining one or more subjects and one or more attributes associated with the one or more subjects, respectively, based on the visual modality of the user input, resolving one or more entities corresponding to the one or more subjects based on the determined one or more attributes, and presenting a communication content at the client system responsive to the user input, wherein the communication content comprises information associated with executing results of one or more tasks corresponding to the one or more resolved entities.

Various approaches for providing network maintenance and health monitoring. In some cases, some approaches include systems, methods, and/or devices that provide for receiving and cataloging network incidents and invoking automated remediation in relation to network incidents.

A method, device and system for carrying out telecommunication capability group sending is provided, each node of a system for carrying out telecommunication capability group sending corresponds to a database service node, a plurality of database service nodes perform load balancing or switching on failure within themselves and each node of the system for carrying out telecommunication capability group sending may quickly read the subscription relationships and send down messages to users. The above technical solution increases the database access speed and avoids the problem of database's resources shortage and improves service performance of the telecommunication capability group sending.

An intelligent agent monitors operation of at least one software virtualized network (VN). Context information associated with the VN is used to analyze a state of the VN. At least one configuration change is caused to the VN in response to analysis of the state of the VN. A change is identified to the state of the VN caused by the configuration change. A determination is made as to whether or not the change to the state of the VN is an improvement to operation of the VN. A response to the determination is made by causing at least one other configuration change to the VN.

In one implementation, a system for network tool synchronization includes a methodology engine to receive a data methodology of an enterprise architecture tool from the enterprise architecture tool. In addition, the system includes a functionality engine to analyze deployment diagrams of an orchestration tool to determine a functionality of the orchestration tool. In addition, the system includes an architecture engine to select information from the enterprise architecture tool based on the functionality of the orchestration tool. In addition, the system includes an information engine to export the selected information to the orchestration tool.

A control device includes: an identification unit identifying a workflow waiting to execute an aggregation object process in aggregation rule data, an aggregation unit associating an identifier of the identified workflow with an aggregation identifier associated with a process that the identified workflow is waiting to execute and an aggregation condition identified from an attribute of the identified workflow in the aggregated data; and an execution unit outputting an instruction to aggregate and execute a process that the workflow associated with the aggregation identifier in the aggregated data is waiting to execute.

A transmission method and system for an optical burst transport network are disclosed in the present document. The method includes: acquiring a topology of a mesh OBTN network, and generating one or more logical sub-networks according to the topology of the mesh OBTN network; a predetermined master node in the mesh OBTN network updating bandwidth maps for all logical sub-networks; the predetermined master node is a node, which all control channels pass through, in all the nodes of the mesh OBTN network.

Embodiments of the present invention disclose an alarm information processing method, including: acquiring, by an EMS, a first alarm information set reported by a VNFM, where the first alarm information set is generated after the VNFM performs correlation analysis on at least one piece of NFVI alarm information and at least one piece of VIM alarm information; acquiring, by the EMS, a second alarm information set reported by a VNF, where the second alarm information set includes at least one piece of VNF alarm information; and performing, by the EMS, correlation analysis on the first alarm information set and the second alarm information set, and dispatching a configured work order for alarm information that has a correlation relationship. By using the present invention, a cross-layer association between alarm information can be implemented to reduce a quantity of work orders.
