    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a perch for screening drones before permitting access to a restricted geographic region. The perch may include various scanners for evaluating the payload of the drone, its hardware, and flight control software. In one embodiment, the screening perch includes a conveyor belt that moves the drone through various scanners or stages in the perch. In one embodiment, the perch ensures the drone is properly configured to enter the restricted geographic region. The region may include multiple requirements or criteria that must be satisfied before a drone is permitted to enter. For example, the drone may need a signed flight plan, cargo that is less than a certain percentage of its weight, or an approved flight controller before being permitted into the restricted region. In this manner, the perch serves as a controlled entrance point for drones attempting to enter the restricted region.

    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: 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.
