Abstract: Automatic, adaptive stimulus generation includes receiving, at a network device that is associated with a network or system, analytics data that provides an indication of how the network or system is responding to a set of test stimuli introduced into the network or system to facilitate an analysis operation. The network device analyzes the analytics data based on an intended objective for the analysis operation and generates control settings based on the analyzing. The control settings control creation of a subsequent stimulus to be introduced into the network or system during subsequent execution of the analysis operation.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein enable transforming mutable wireless coverage areas using network coverage vehicles (NVCs) that are orchestrated by a network coverage controller. In various implementations, the method includes receiving coverage area performance characterization values from NCVs configured to provide a plurality of mutable wireless coverage areas. In various implementations, an arrangement of the mutable wireless coverage areas mutably defines the service area, which changes in accordance with changes to the arrangement of the mutable wireless coverage areas. In various implementations, the method also includes determining NCV operation adjustments for some of the NCVs based on the received coverage area performance characterization values in accordance with a service performance metric; and, altering an arrangement of one or more of the plurality of mutable wireless coverage areas within the service area by providing the NCV operation adjustments to some of the NCVs.

Abstract: Techniques relating to a geographic lighting controller. A controller determines a target lighting pattern based on an instruction for a smart lighting effect. The controller retrieves from a database, based on the target geographic location, information identifying a first plurality of smart lights to activate as part of the smart lighting effect. The controller determines a plurality of network addresses for the first plurality of smart lights, based on the retrieved information, generates a lighting effect command relating to the first plurality of smart lights, and transmits the lighting effect command to create the smart lighting effect.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a classification device in a computer network analyzes data from a given device in the computer network, and classifies the given device as a particular type of device based on the data. The classification device may then determine whether a manufacturer usage description (MUD) policy exists for the particular type of device. In response to there being no existing MUD policy for the particular type of device, the classification device may then determine patterns of the analyzed data, classify the patterns into context-based policies, and generate a derived MUD policy for the particular type of device based on the context-based policies. The classification device may then apply one of either the existing or derived MUD policy for the given device within the computer network.

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.
