Abstract: In one embodiment, a server determines a particular computer network outside of a lab environment to recreate, and also determines, for the particular computer network, hardware components and their interconnectivity, as well as installed software components and their configuration. The server then controls interconnection of lab hardware components within the lab environment according to the interconnectivity of the hardware components of the particular computer network. The server also installs and configures lab software components on the lab hardware components according to the configuration of the particular computer network. Accordingly, the server operates the installed lab software components on the interconnected lab hardware components within the lab environment to recreate operation of the particular computer network within the lab environment, and provides information about the recreated operation of the particular computer network.

Abstract: A mobile network device moves along a track rail structure of a ceiling-mounted track enclosure. The ceiling-mounted track enclosure further comprises a beam transmission cavity for accommodating a collimated light beam having a prescribed cross-sectional area and having been transmitted into the beam transmission cavity by a free space optical transmitter, without obstruction of the collimated light beam by the mobile network device along the track rail structure. The mobile network device receives, at a selected detection area within the cross-sectional area, a modulated light signal transmitted within the collimated light beam. The selected detection area is substantially smaller than the prescribed cross-sectional area and allocated exclusively to the mobile network device. The mobile network device can move toward an identifiable destination position of the track rail structure by a determined arrival time in response to the mobile network device detecting a movement instruction in the modulated light signal.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a controller instructs an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) docked to a landing perch to perform a pre-flight test operation of a pre-flight test routine. The controller receives sensor data associated with the pre-flight test operation from one or more force sensors of the landing perch, in response to the UAV performing the pre-flight test operation. The controller determines whether the sensor data associated with the pre-flight test operation is within an acceptable range. The controller causes the UAV to launch from the landing perch based in part on a determination that UAV has passed the pre-flight test routine.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a supervisory device in a network maintains a plurality of node profiles for nodes in the network. The supervisory device receives, from a fog computing device in the network, node data associated with a particular node in the network. The supervisory device determines a node profile for the particular node based on the received node data and the maintained plurality of node profiles. The supervisory device causes installation of a fog computing application to the fog computing device based on the determined node profile for the particular node. The fog computing application is configured to process the node data associated with the particular node.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an adjustable cable management system is disclosed. The system includes a tray base having a first end. The system also includes a tray door coupled to the tray base and substantially opposite the first end of the tray base when in a closed position. The system further includes a plurality of cable guides coupled to the first end of the tray base and located between the first end of the tray base and the tray door. A particular cable guide is coupled to the first end of the tray base at a selected angle from among a plurality of selectable angles.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for orchestrating cloud to fog interactions. In some examples, a method can involve partitioning an application into software containers, each of the software containers being configured to host a respective component of the application. The method can further involve identifying nodes on respective hierarchical layers of a hierarchical cloud-fog architecture for hosting the software containers on the respective hierarchical layers of the cloud-fog architecture. The hierarchical cloud-fog architecture can include one or more cloud layers and one or more fog layers. The method can also involve deploying the software containers at the nodes on the respective hierarchical layers of the cloud-fog architecture.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein enable improved allocation of fog node resources, which supports performance driven partitioning of competing client applications. In various implementations, methods are performed by a fog orchestrator configured to determine allocations of fog resources for competing client applications and partition the competing client applications based on the fog resource allocations. Methods include receiving reservation priority values (RPVs) associated with a plurality of client applications competing for a contested fog node resource, transmitting, to a subset of client devices, a request to provide updated RPVs, and awarding the contested fog node resource to one of the plurality of client applications based on the received RPVs and any updated RPVs. In various implementations, methods also include determining, for each of the plurality of client applications, a respective mapping for a respective plurality of separable components of the client application based on the awarded contested fog node resource.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an autonomous carrier transports a fog computing module to an enclosure at a location determined to be in need of a particular fog computing resource, and aligns and anchors the fog computing module to the enclosure, where the aligning and anchoring is based on mating mechanical connectors on the fog computing module and enclosure. One or more electronic components of the fog computing module may then interface to the enclosure due to the anchoring, and the fog computing module activates at the location, accordingly. In one particular embodiment, the particular fog computing resource of the fog computing module is an additive resource to an existing fog computing resource module at the enclosure, and the existing fog computing resource module provides the mechanical connectors and interfaced electronic components of the enclosure.

Abstract: Techniques presented herein are directed to synchronizing the execution time of lighting operations within a networked lighting system. In one example, a network device that is connected to at least one networked light fixture accepts one or more timing reference messages representing a network time base. The network device generates one or more lighting control messages that identify at least one light control setting for the networked light fixture connected to the network device. Based on the one or more timing reference messages, the network device encodes a time for execution of the light control setting within the lighting control messages, thereby generating one or more time encoded lighting control messages. The network device sends the time encoded lighting control messages to the networked light fixture for execution of the light control settings at the time of execution specified in the time encoded lighting control message.
