    Abstract: Techniques for allowing devices to obtain software updates are described. In one scenario, a device broadcasts request for updates to nearby devices of the same type, at least one of which responds indicating an available update. The device requesting the update broadcasts a request for the available update to nearby devices, at least one of which provides at least a portion of the update. In another scenario, a device broadcasts requests for update to nearby devices manufactured by the same manufacturer. At least one device may provide the update, responsive to a determination that the update is available. Alternately, responsive to a determination that the update is not available, the device receiving the broadcast may respond saying the update is not available, then attempt to update the update from an update server. Upon receiving a later broadcast, the device having the update may provide the update to the requesting device.

    Abstract: Technologies for performing energy efficient software distribution include a mesh node. The mesh node is to obtain fingerprint data of a plurality of other mesh nodes in a network. The mesh node is also to determine corresponding characteristics of the mesh nodes from the obtained fingerprint data, including an energy status of each of the mesh nodes. The mesh node is also to perform an analysis of a software update, determine, as a function of the analysis of the software update, one or more target mesh nodes of the plurality of mesh nodes for the software update, and determine a path through the mesh nodes to the one or more target mesh nodes as a function of the fingerprint data. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

    Abstract: A method dynamically reconfigures a system on a chip (SOC) comprising multiple semiconductor intellectual property (IP) blocks. The method comprises, when booting a data processing system (DPS) comprising the SOC, automatically allocating different IP blocks to multiple different microsystems within the DPS, based on a static partitioning policy (SPP). The method also comprises, after booting the DPS, determining that reallocation of at least one of the IP blocks is desired, based on (a) monitored conditions of at least one of the microsystems and (b) a dynamic partitioning policy (DPP). The method also comprises, in response to determining that reallocation of at least one of the IP blocks is desired, automatically reallocating at least one of the IP blocks from one of the microsystems to another of the microsystems without resetting at least one of the microsystems. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: In an example, there is disclosed a drone operator computing apparatus having: a network interface; and one or more logic elements providing a broker agent to: communicatively couple to a drone brokerage engine via the network interface; send a carrier request comprising a request for a carrier to carry a drone through a prohibitive zone; receive a brokered carrier response comprising an engage point; and dispatch the drone to the engage point. There is also disclosed a drone having a navigation engine to proceed to the engage point and engage a carrier. There is also disclosed a brokerage engine to broker a carrier request from the drone operator, receive a carrier response from a carrier operator, and broker the carrier response.

    Abstract: Technologies for monitoring vehicle traffic include a traffic analysis server that receives infrastructure data from infrastructure sensors positioned along a road segment of a road and vehicle data from one or more vehicles travelling along the road segment. The traffic analysis server determines whether anomalies are present in the traffic data through the road segment based on an expected traffic behavior for the road segment. The traffic analysis server determines the expected traffic behavior for the road segment in a particular time window based on a historical traffic pattern associated with the road segment, based on historical vehicle data and historical infrastructure data captured during a prior time window corresponding to the particular time window for that road segment. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
