Abstract:

Determining the physical location of wirelessly connected devices within a network can provide a number of security benefits. However, manually determining and configuring the physical location of each device within a system can be burdensome. To ease this burden, devices within a network are equipped with a location detection sensor that is capable of automatically determining a device's location in relation to other devices within the network. A location detection sensor (“sensor”) may include a light source, a light direction sensor, a rangefinder, and a radio or wireless network interface. Two location detection sensors can perform a location detection process to determine their relative locations to each other, such as the distance between them. As more sensors are added to a network, a sensor management system uses the relative locations determined by the sensors to map the sensors to a physical space layout.

Abstract:

Techniques for managing distributed state for stateless transactions are disclosed herein. In some embodiments a distributed state manager detects a state-changing event that corresponds to a stateless transaction between a node and an application server. The stateless transaction is generated from a first instance of an application that is executing on the node and hosted by the application server. The distributed state manager records the event in a blockchain comprising blocks that each record a batch of one or more events associated with execution of the application. The distributed state manager detects an update to the blockchain associated with the recorded event and modifies a state of a second instance of the application executing on at least one other node based, at least in part, on the update to the blockchain.
