A method and an apparatus for identifying an abnormal usage of an electronic device are provided. A usage behavior of the electronic device may be monitored. Usage information associated with the usage behavior may be obtained. The usage information may be provided to a personal usage model established for a user of the electronic device. An abnormal usage of the electronic device may be determined based at least on the usage information through the personal usage model. A notification of the abnormal usage may be generated.

In general, techniques are described for providing a continuous feedback system that dynamically updates data collection criteria and subscriber policies based on aggregated subscriber-specific and network usage data. For example, a method includes applying one or more subscriber specific policy and charging control (PCC) rules to network traffic to collect network traffic data for a plurality of subscribers, aggregating the network traffic data, and determining, based on the aggregated traffic data, whether subscriber independent data collection criteria need to be updated. The method may also include, responsive to determining that the data collection criteria need to be updated: updating the data collection criteria, translating the updated data collection criteria from updated subscriber independent data collection criteria into updated subscriber specific PCC rules, and applying the updated subscriber specific policy and charging control rules to additional network traffic to collect additional network traffic data.

Systems and methods for admitting new nodes into an existing network, for example a MoCA network. As a non-limiting example, various aspects of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for adding a new node to an existing network without requiring on-site manual configuration, for example utilizing communication between the new node and a network coordinator of the existing network prior to admission of the new node to the existing network.

Systems and methods for network management, including adaptively installing one or more monitoring rules in one or more network devices on a network using an intelligent network middleware, detecting application traffic on the network transparently using an application demand monitor, and predicting future network demands of the network by analyzing historical and current demands. The one or more monitoring rules are updated once counters are collected; and network paths are determined and optimized to meet network demands and maximize utilization and application performance with minimal congestion on the network.

Systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for analyzing telemetry data from physical process sensors to detect anomalies within the physical process. A telemetry analytics system is disclosed as a process level anomaly detection system based on operational telemetrics and domain-specific knowledge that protects cyber physical system (CPS) devices against zero-day exploits not detectable through traditional system log or network packet inspection. The telemetry analytics system operates as a security component comparable to intrusion detection or anti-virus/anti-malware that generates alerts upon detecting anomalies in the sensor and/or activity data ingested from system or network data sources.

Different example implementations of the present disclosure relates to methods and computer readable mediums for automatically generating physically aware NoC design and physically aware NoC Specification based on one or more of given SoC architectural details, physical information of SoC, traffic specification, power profile and one or more constraints. The method includes steps of receiving input information, determining the location/position of different NoC agents, interconnecting channels, pins, I/O interfaces, physical/virtual boundaries, number of layers, size/depth/width of different channels at different time, and locating/configuring the different NoC agents, interconnecting channels, pins, I/O interfaces, and physical/virtual boundaries.

An operation plan creating system, by simulation based on a supply and demand scenario, extracts for each time point during operation for one day, a scenario that raises the effect of correction of the operation at the time point. The operation plan creating system classifies action-requiring scenarios by action similarity. The operation plan creating system determines an action-requiring scenario group for which actions are similar, and a correction time. The operation plan creating system judges whether an early action scenario group can be identified by data available at an early action time on the current day. If identifiable, the operation plan creating system 103 creates an identification condition for the early action scenario group and an optimal operation plan for the scenarios satisfying the identification condition.

A method implemented by a software defined network (SDN) controller, the method comprising receiving, from a network node, a request for path optimization, wherein the request comprises information identifying the network node and a destination node, forwarding the request to an application layer traffic optimization (ALTO) server, receiving, from the ALTO server, path information that identifies a plurality of SDN domains to be traversed from the network node to the destination node, wherein the plurality of SDN domains comprises a first SDN domain, in which the SDN controller resides, and a second SDN domain, in which an edge node known by the SDN controller resides, and determining a first path segment from the network node to the edge node.

An OpenFlow (OF) adaptor comprising at least one OF port configured to communicate with an OF Controller, at least one Non-OF (NOF) port configured to communicate with a NOF switch, and at least one processor coupled to the OF port and the NOF port and configured to receive a first OF message comprising network data from the OF controller via the OF port, translate the first OF message into a first NOF message, wherein the first NOF message comprises network data analogous to the first OF message network data encoded in a format supported by the NOF switch, and transmit the first NOF message toward the NOF switch via the NOF port.

A power distribution system includes a manager provided on a network controller and an agent provided on a line module. The manager is operable to receive a configuration for a port on the line module. A connection to the port is then detected by the agent and communicated to the manager. At least one of the manager and the agent determines that the connection is for a powered device that is operable to receive power and data through the port. The manager then classifies the powered device. If the manager determines that the classification of the powered device corresponds to the configuration of the port, the manager provides power to the powered device through the port according to an allocation for the powered device from a global power budget.
