A method for upgrading vehicle electronic control units (ECUs) in a vehicle comprises: creating a differential upgrade package (DUP) for each upgrade to a predetermined ECU, said creating comprises: comparing a new image of the digital contents of a predetermined ECU flash memory with a present image of the digital contents of the predetermined ECU flash memory; and producing a set of changes to modify the present image to the new image, said changes comprising a set of instructions. The DUP comprises a set of instructions that are utilized to update the ECU flash memory a block at a time.

A method for providing a software update package (SUP) to an Internet of Things (IoT) device via a user's communication device (UCD) is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes the UCD automatically discovering that a SUP needs to be provided to the IoT device. The UCD obtains the needed SUP from a software administration server (SAS). The UCD transmits the SUP to the IoT device using a first short range wireless signal. After transmitting the SUP to the IoT device, the UCD receives confirmation data transmitted wirelessly by the IoT device using a second short range wireless signal. The confirmation data confirms that the IoT device received the SUP. The UCD transmits the confirmation data to the SAS. The SAS may verify the confirmation data and, if verified, provide a reward to the user of the UCD. In this way, crowd sourcing can be used to provide SUPs to many IoT devices.

In some examples, a control network for one or more network segments of a network comprises a plurality of controllers each including one or more processors. The plurality of controllers receive service requests that each comprises a definition for a service provided by the network to connect at least two endpoints over a path traversing at least one of the one or more network segments, wherein the control network operates according to a control model by which the plurality of controllers provision services in the one or more network segments to satisfy the service requests. The plurality of controllers dynamically adapt, based on network conditions including the service requests, the control model for the control network. The plurality of controllers provision, according to the adapted control model, services for the service requests.

An example operation may include one or more of sending, by a master transport, a first portion of a software update to a transport of a first subset of transports, sending, by a master transport, a second portion of the software update to a transport of a further subset of transports, when a first transport of the subset of the transports and a second transport of the further subset of the transports are in proximity, causing the first transport to send the first portion of the software update to the second transport, and causing the second transport to send the second portion of the software update to the first transport.

A method of coordinating real-time experiences of a realm among members of a group of users, the group of users including an administrative user and at least one participating user, is provided. The method includes transmitting by a server from a computing device of the administrative user, to a computing device of a first participating user of the group, in a real time session that allows the first participating user to experience the realm in real time, (a) data characterizing a series of locations in the realm, the series of locations comprising a first location and a second location, wherein the first location is associated with a first panoramic image and the second location is associated with a second panoramic image, and (b) executable code. The executable code is configured to: receive, from the server, an instruction to display, in real-time and during the session, the realm at a location selected by a member of the same group of users other than the first participating user; display, in real-time and during the session, on the computing device of the first participating user, a portion of a panoramic image corresponding to the realm at the selected location such that the displayed portion is determined by the member of the same group of users other than the first participating user; and display, in real-time and during the session, an embedded object(s) within the panoramic image, which the user may interact with.

The present invention provides for migration of application running on source cloud platform to target cloud platform. In operation, the present invention provides for retrieving analysis-data including source code of application to be migrated, hereinafter referred to as application M, a runtime data of application M, and target cloud platform data. The present invention further provides for identifying migration parameters based on analysis-data. Further, migration readiness of application M to target cloud platform is assessed based on migration parameters. Furthermore, a migration readiness report is generated based on the migration parameters, migration readiness assessment and the runtime data. Yet further, deployment configurations for the application M are generated as per the target cloud platform based on the migration readiness report. Yet further, the application is migrated to the target cloud platform based on the generated deployment configurations by creating Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline.

In an approach for in-band selective data snapshot using fifth generation (5G) radio link control (RLC) channels for edged cloud application backups, a processor creates one or more RLC channels to transfer network data packets in a telecommunication network using a network slicing technology. A processor allocates the one or more RLC channels to one or more applications in a user device for dedicated packet routing requirements. A processor maps the corresponding RLC channels and applications with corresponding identifiers, respectively. A processor monitors the one or more applications for backups. A processor, in response to receiving an application's backup request, creates a copy of a datastore associated with the application based on changes monitored in the one or more applications.

A system and method for agentless discovery and inspection of applications and services in a compute environment includes establishing a connection with a first workload in a first compute environment. The first compute environment includes a plurality of workloads. The system causes installation of a collector on the first workload, wherein the collector, when executed, is configured to collect data from the first workload. Collected data is received from the collector, and the collector is configured to remove the executable code of the collector upon completing data collection. Access is provided to the collected data for an asset monitoring system, wherein the asset monitoring system is configured to discover from the collected data at least an application executed on the first workload.

The invention provides a system, a method and a computer program product that facilitate access to one or more applications by a computing device.
