In an embodiment, a data processing method comprises storing one or more generic machine operating definitions, wherein each of the generic machine operating definitions describes expected operational behavior of one or more types of machines during one or more operating states; analyzing operating data that describes past operation of a plurality of machines of a plurality of types; based at least in part on the operating data and the one or more generic machine operating definitions, generating and storing one or more machine operating models that describe expected operational behavior corresponding to a plurality of operating states of the plurality of machines; wherein the one or more machine operating models comprise a plurality of data patterns, wherein each of the data patterns is associated with a different set of one or more operating states of one or more machines; wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.

Learning expected operational behavior of machines from generic definitions and past behavior

A computer-implemented method of obtaining a label for graphically presented operating behavior is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a set of sequences of values that describe operating behavior of one or more machines that were observed over one or more windows of time, at least one sequence of values of the set of sequences of values corresponds to a time series of varying values; causing display of one or more graphical elements that change in appearance over time according to the at least one sequence of values, at least one of the one or more graphical elements representing a characteristic of a part of the one or more machines; detecting an upcoming occurrence of an event based on the one sequence of values, the event corresponding to a certain sequence of values of the set of sequences of values; causing, in response to detecting the upcoming occurrence of the event and prior to an occurrence of the event, display of the at least one graphical elements that change in appearance in a specific manner; receiving, after display of the certain sequence of values, a label for the event, storing, based at least in part on the input, the label in association with the certain sequence of values.

Operating behavior classification interface

A method and apparatus for generating, causing display of, sending, or otherwise providing one or more interfaces for monitoring machines, classifying operating behavior of the machines, and/or predicting operational behavior of the machines. The interfaces may include a graphical user interface that that shows graphical elements changing in appearance over time according to a sequence of stored values that represent measurements. An interface manager may receive, via the graphical user interface, input comprising a label, and, based at least in part on the input, store the label in association with the displayed sequence or in association with a set or cluster of sequences that includes the displayed sequence.

A distributed coordination and control protocol may enable a set of mobile, self-organizing, robotic relay nodes to adaptively seek positions in such an environment that establishes a network, meeting desired coverage in terms of connected warfighters. Distributed coordination of robotic relay nodes may allow the network to dynamically adapt as positions of warfighters change and/or the network demands change. An algorithm is provided that may be scalable to a large number of robots and may be robust to random deployment of robots, robot platform failures, channel dynamics, and changing warfighter positions.
