Provided is an information processing apparatus having a control unit that acquires a state of another information processing apparatus and executes instruction proxy processing in a case where an instruction from a user specifies the another information processing apparatus as an instruction target and the acquired state of the another information processing apparatus.

Methods, devices, and systems for point value change notification are described herein. One system (100) includes a message broker (108) to receive data from a data acquisition (DAQ) system, a first building management system (BMS) instance (104) connected to the message broker (108) to process a first portion of the DAQ data, a second BMS instance (104) connected to the message broker (108) to process a second portion of the DAQ data, and a web application (118) connected to the message broker (108) to generate a notification of a change in point value of a portion of the first portion or the second portion of the DAQ data, where the first BMS instance (104) and the second BMS instance (104) are provisioned with a plurality of computing resources deployed in a computing environment (102, 502) and are ultimately executed on hardware.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method performed in a network exposure node. The method comprises establishing a connection between a first terminal device and a Message Queuing Telemetry Transport for Sensor Network, MQTT-SN, gateway, facilitating subscription of the first terminal device to a topic via the MQTT-SN gateway and facilitating data publishing of a second terminal device for the topic towards the first terminal device via the MQTT gateway.

Apparatus and methods are disclosed for processing messages from agents of a network environment including the use of collectors. Collectors can use configurable pipelines to improve processing of messages received from the agents. In one example of the disclosed technology, a number of networked agents are configured to gather data describing operational aspects of an agent's computing host. A collector is configured to receive reports from the agent and send the gathered data to one or more destination agent data consumers designated by augmentation information in the reports. In some examples, the collector transforms data using one or more stage selector rules.

This disclosure describes techniques for improving CSB platforms (or CSB applications) that manages cloud services for different clients and different environments. In one example, the CSB platforms may be interconnected and configured to act as a proxy for the cloud services. The interconnected CSB platforms may perform spontaneous updating of stored service instance addresses when a service instance is tracked to trigger a strong consistency in the interconnected CSB platforms. Alternatively, the interconnected CSB platforms may perform delayed updating of stored service instance addresses when a service instance is tracked to trigger a weak consistency in the interconnected CSB platforms. Regulation of a frequency and scope of updating may improve the use of power resources in the CSB platforms.

Disclosed are various embodiments for scalable notification deliveries in computing environments. A subscription request is transmitted along with a user identifier, a service identifier, a subscription identifier, and a channel identifier. Notifications are communicated through a notification multiplexing channel between two nodes of a computing environment. The notification multiplexing channel includes notifications multiplexed by subscription identifiers. The notification multiplexing channel corresponds to the channel identifier. A notification corresponding to the subscription identifier is identified and provided to a client computing device associated with the user identifier.

A method for managing data of devices using one or more computing entities includes encrypting, by one or more encrypting entities, the data based on encryption policies using encryption keys; storing the encrypted data as ciphertext at a storing entity; requesting decryption keys to decrypt the stored ciphertext by one or more clients; computing restricted decryption keys based on access right policies for the requesting clients by a security management entity; and providing the generated decryption keys to the requesting clients for decrypting the stored ciphertext.

Systems and methods for asynchronous API-driven external application services for blockchain are provided. The blockchain may store profile data that permits asynchronous communications and data sharing among a plurality of trusted users, and an application server layer may act as a gateway to a blockchain system to selectively provide limited access to external application services to operate upon the blockchain data.
