Various systems and methods for implementing a software defined industrial system are described herein. For example, an orchestrated system of distributed nodes may run an application, including modules implemented on the distributed nodes. In response to a node failing, a module may be redeployed to a replacement node. In an example, self-descriptive control applications and software modules are provided in the context of orchestratable distributed systems. The self-descriptive control applications may be executed by an orchestrator or like control device and use a module manifest to generate a control system application. For example, an edge control node of the industrial system may include a system on a chip including a microcontroller (MCU) to convert IO data. The system on a chip includes a central processing unit (CPU) in an initial inactive state, which may be changed to an activated state in response an activation signal.

In general, techniques are described for communicating state information in distribute operating system. A network device comprises a first hardware node and a second hardware node. The first hardware node may execute a first instance of a distributed operating system, and maintain a first data structure that stores a plurality of objects defining a portion of state information. The second hardware node may execute a second instance of the distributed operating system, and maintain a second data structure that stores synchronized versions of the plurality of objects. The first hardware node may further receive updated state information, update the first data structure to include the updated state information, and synchronize the updated first data structure with the second data structure. The second hardware node may synchronize the second data structure with the updated first data structure.

A field device, including: a processor; and memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: login to a local node device physically connected to the field device; enable a common command protocol on the local node device; solicit information to configure the local node device; generate a command set in the enabled common command protocol according to the solicited information; and execute the command set to automatically commission the local node device to communicate with one or more other node devices commissioned in a first network.

Various systems and methods may be used to implement a software defined industrial system. For example, an orchestrated system of distributed nodes may run an application, including modules implemented on the distributed nodes. The orchestrated system may include an orchestration server, a first node executing a first module, and a second node executing a second module. In response to the second node failing, the second module may be redeployed to a replacement node (e.g., the first node or a different node). The replacement mode may be determined by the first node or another node, for example based on connections to or from the second node.

The present disclosure relates to techniques for managing client computing systems, such as a client distributed-computing system. In one embodiment, a desired state of the client distributed-computing system and a current state of the client distributed-computing system are received. Measurement data generated by a plurality of components of the client distributed-computing system is received. The measurement data is processed using one or more analytical or statistical techniques to generate distilled data. Based on one or more policies and the desired state, the distilled data and the current state are analyzed to determine one or more actions predicted to converge the current state of the client distributed-computing system towards the desired state. One or more control commands corresponding to the one or more actions are provided to the client distributed-computing system. The one or more control commands cause the client distributed-computing system to perform the one or more actions.

Disclosed are various implementations of approaches for continuous delivery of management configurations. In some examples, a management configuration delivery workflow is identified. A management console user interface includes a graphical representation of the management configuration delivery workflow. The management configuration is retrieved from a source environment specified in the management configuration delivery workflow and transmitted to a specified destination environment.

According to one aspect, a system and method of exchanging GRUUs (Globally Routed User Agent URI (Uniform Resource Identifier)) between a first telephony-enabled device and a second telephony enabled device using a circuit-switched message is provided. Once exchanged, the telephony enabled devices can exchange SIP (session initiated protocol) communications routed by the GRUUs. Any one of the telephony-enabled devices can add a media component to the SIP communications. According to another aspect, a system and method of generating GRUUs is provided. According to another aspect, a system and method of handing off communications to a packet switched network from a circuit switched network is provided.

A method is provided for providing services gateway configuration data. The method includes receiving, from a services gateway, a request for configuration data. Also, the method includes identifying a first subset of stored configuration data that is responsive to the request. The first subset of the stored configuration data is identified using a content of the request and a state of the first subset of the stored configuration data. Additionally, the method includes sending, to the services gateway, the first subset of the stored configuration data.

Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for automatically replicating configuration parameters from securely identified connected systems are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes discovering a set of one or more systems connected via at least one network; identifying at least one of the one or more systems of the discovered set by processing cryptographic data associated with at least a portion of the one or more systems; establishing a communication session with the at least one identified system by securing at least one application programming interface; replicating one or more configuration parameters from at least a portion of the at least one identified system in connection with the established communication session; and performing one or more automated actions based at least in part on the one or more replicated configuration parameters.

There is disclosed a generalized security system that includes a local system, a mobile device application, and a server that is accessible via the mobile device application and a browser. The local system contains a microprocessor, communications components and related software all of which enable communications with the server and external components coupled with the local system. The local system software and server software combine with the mobile application and website interface to enable a user to monitor, configure, and control security components coupled with the local system and the local system itself via the server. The system replaces multiple disparate control devices with a single, configurable device and system. The system integrates multiple disparate devices and systems from multiple manufacturers
