Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to coordinate node level adaptations. An example apparatus includes an adaptation support determiner to determine if an adaptation in an adaptation message is supported by a first device, an extractor to, in response to the determination that the adaptation in the adaptation message is supported by the first device, calculate a start-time for the first device based on (a) a transit duration of the adaptation message, (b) an execution duration of the adaptation in the adaptation message, and (c) a timestamp of when the second device sent the adaptation message, and an initiate a timer value for the first device and the second device, the timer value being a function of the start-time. The example apparatus further includes an installer to, in response to the timer value satisfying a threshold, execute the adaptation to reduce disruptions in the CPS.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An apparatus to reduce disruptions in a cyber physical system (CPS), the apparatus comprising:
at least one memory;
instructions; and
at least one processor to execute the instructions to:
determine if an adaptation in an adaptation message is supported by a first device, the adaptation message being sent by a second device;
in response to the determination that the adaptation in the adaptation message is supported by the first device, calculate a start-time for the first device;
initiate a timer value for the first device and the second device, the timer value being a function of the start-time;
in response to the timer value satisfying a threshold, reduce disruptions in the CPS by executing the adaptation by the first device; and
transmit a notification to surrounding devices to prevent execution of the adaptation until an operating parameter corresponding to the first device is associated with an improvement.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is to execute the instructions to send the timer value to the second device to coordinate execution of the adaptation between the first device and the second device.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the threshold is satisfied when the timer value expires.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is to execute the instructions to update a first model to include data representing at least one of energy usage, resource usage, or execution time.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the operating parameter includes at least one of energy usage, resource usage, or execution time.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the start-time is based on (a) a transit duration of the adaptation message, (b) an execution duration of the adaptation in the adaptation message, and (c) a timestamp of when the second device sent the adaptation message.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is to execute the instructions to identify at least one of a system or a subsystem of the first device to install the adaptation.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the processor is to execute the instructions to remove, in response to determining that the adaptation is not associated with an improvement, the adaptation from the at least one of the system or the subsystem of the first device.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to at least:
determine if an adaptation in an adaptation message is supported by a first device, the adaptation message being sent by a second device;
in response to the determination that the adaptation in the adaptation message is supported by the first device, calculate a start-time for the first device;
initiate a timer value for the first device and the second device, the timer value being a function of the start-time;
in response to the timer value satisfying a threshold, reduce disruptions in a cyber physical system (CPS) by executing the adaptation by the first device; and
transmit a notification to surrounding devices to prevent execution of the adaptation until an operating parameter corresponding to the first device is associated with an improvement.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to send the timer value to the second device to coordinate execution of the adaptation between the first device and the second device.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the threshold is satisfied when the timer value expires.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to update a first model to include data representing at least one of energy usage, resource usage, or execution time.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the operating parameter includes at least one of energy usage, resource usage, or execution time.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the start-time is based on (a) a transit duration of the adaptation message, (b) an execution duration of the adaptation in the adaptation message, and (c) a timestamp of when the second device sent the adaptation message.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to identify at least one of a system or a subsystem of the first device to install the adaptation.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to remove, in response to determining that the adaptation is not associated with an improvement, the adaptation from the at least one of the system or the subsystem of the first device.

17. An apparatus to reduce disruptions in a cyber physical system (CPS), the apparatus comprising:
means for determining if an adaptation in an adaptation message is supported by a first device, the adaptation message being sent by a second device;
means for calculating to calculate, in response to the determination that the adaptation in the adaptation message is supported by the first device, a start-time for the first device;
means for initiating a timer value for the first device and the second device, the timer value being a function of the start-time;
means for executing, in response to the timer value satisfying a threshold, the adaptation by the first device to reduce disruptions in the CPS; and
means for transmitting a notification to surrounding devices to prevent execution of the adaptation until an operating parameter corresponding to the first device is associated with an improvement.

18. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the start-time is based on (a) a transit duration of the adaptation message, (b) an execution duration of the adaptation in the adaptation message, and (c) a timestamp of when the second device sent the adaptation message.

19. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the threshold is satisfied when the timer value expires.

20. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the operating parameter includes at least one of energy usage, resource usage, or execution time.
