The present inventive concept provides for a method of unmanned machine synchronization using robotic sensing. The method includes generating at least one physical signal in the vicinity of at least one unmanned machine. The at least one generated physical signal is received by the at least one unmanned machine. At least one task is performed by the at least one unmanned machine based on the at least one received generated physical signal.

Unmanned machine synchronization using robotic sensing

A method, computer system, and a computer program product is provided for establishing a dynamically adaptive network firewall. A firewall model is established that identifies resources that can be used and a plurality of nodes that connect to one another to form a network. A set of external rules and policies are provided to each resource. The firewall implemented using the firewall model upon receiving of incoming data and upon traffic flow. The firewall expands or contracts the network by adding or removing resources according to work that needs to be performed. The work includes both tasks to be completed and efforts that has to be taken by the firewall to ensure security by preventing unauthorized access into the network.

A computer-implemented method, according to one approach, includes: receiving, from a remote location, a request to generate a unique equipment code identifying a device. Identifying characteristics of the device are determined, and a unique equipment code is generated. The unique equipment code is generated by applying policy based rules summarized in one or more predetermined information dependency graphs while combining at least some of the determined identifying characteristics in a specific order. Moreover, the combined identifying characteristics are converted into a corresponding alphanumeric string. The unique equipment code is assigned to the device and the unique equipment code is also transmitted to the remote location.
