Abstract

Computing devices, each of which monitors information in a monitoring environment, take on the role of a controller for some of them, separating the (real or virtual) elements of the environment into subsets. Computing devices provide their results to a unification device, which combines them into a monitoring parameter. Each computing device monitors its parameters based on a timestamp, so unification devices can determine whether results from those computing devices represent the same state of the environment. Unification devices divide the results from their computing devices into uniform durations. Even if results don't reflect the same environment state, unification devices can still approximate results for unification. Elements can be reassigned on time boundaries, or can be duplicated, with unification devices still able to unify results. Predicted queries can be pre-computed.
