Various embodiments of the present invention are directed towards a system and method relating to Next Generation First Responder (NGFR) modular and scalable systems capable of easily integrating various components via open standards and interfaces. For example, a wearable on-body first responder system includes at least one sensor configured to identify sensor information, a controller configured to provide a first responder mobile support architecture and that is configured to interface with the at least one sensor. The controller is configured to collect and distribute the sensor information, and an input/output (I/O) device is configured to interface with the controller and present the sensor information to a user of the on-body first responder system.

Techniques for increasing malleability in software-defined infrastructures are described. A compute node, including one or more processor circuits, may be configured to access one or more remote resources via a fabric, the compute node may be configured to monitor utilization of the one or more remote resources. The compute node may be further configured to identify based on one or more criteria that one or more remote resources may be released and initiate release of identified one or more remote resources. The compute node may be configured to generate a notification to a software stack indicating that the identified one or more remote resources has been released. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A sensor tag which in use will be affixed to a vehicle for obtaining vehicle telematics data includes a battery for powering the tag and a processor running executable code to process accelerometer data. An accelerometer measures the acceleration of the tag and thereby of the vehicle, and also controls the operation of the processor. A memory is used for storing a unique tag identifier of the tag and for storing trip data including information about trips and acceleration data. Finally, a communication module is used for short range wireless communication with a mobile communications device located in the vehicle via a short range wireless communications protocol, the communication module transmitting the tag's unique identifier and a sequence of time stamped acceleration data. The mobile communications device obtains GPS data, combines this with the acceleration date and transmits this to a server for analysis.

In the system, the data, which are acquired in a decentralized manner, are evaluated centrally. Multiple at least temporarily mobile modules are arranged at various positions of a respective underground structure and the temporarily mobile modules are designed to acquire and buffer store measurement data and to transmit acquired measurement data wirelessly and automatically to multiple fully mobile modules as soon as a fully mobile module has reached a distance from a temporarily mobile module at which a wireless data transmission between a respective temporarily mobile module and a fully mobile module is possible. Fully mobile modules are designed to buffer store data that have been received from at least one temporarily mobile module and, upon reaching a data access point that is connected to a central acquisition, evaluation and/or storage unit, to transmit these buffer-stored data to the respective data access point.

The system generally includes a crosspoint switch in a local data collection system having multiple inputs and multiple outputs including a first input connected to a first sensor and a second input connected to a second sensor. The multiple outputs include a first output and a second output configured to be switchable between a condition in which the first output is configured to switch between delivery of a first sensor signal and a second sensor signal and a condition in which there is simultaneous delivery of the first sensor signal and the second sensor signal. Each of multiple inputs is configured to be individually assigned to any of the multiple outputs. The local data collection system includes multiple data acquisition units each having an onboard card set configured to store calibration information and maintenance history. The local data collection system is configured to manage data collection bands.

Techniques for reducing fragmentation in software-defined infrastructures are described. A compute node, including one or more processor circuits, may be configured to access one or more remote resources via a fabric, the compute node may be configured to receive a dynamic tolerated fragmentation for the one or more remote resources. The compute node may be configured to monitor the performance of the one or more remote resources. For example, the compute node may be configured to monitor if one or more of the monitored resources were to exceed a threshold bandwidth or latency range as defined by the dynamic tolerated fragmentation. The compute node may be configured to determine that the monitored performance of the one or more remote resources is outside a threshold defined by the dynamic tolerated fragmentation. If one or more of the remote resources is outside the threshold, for a predetermined period of time, or otherwise, the compute node may be configured to determine so and take appropriate measures, such as generating a message indicating that performance of the one or more remote resources is outside a threshold defined by the dynamic tolerated fragmentation. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
