The paper titled “Fractus: Orchestration of Distributed Applications in the Drone-Edge-Cloud Continuum” was accepted at the IEEE 46th Annual Computers, Software, and Applications Conference (COMPSAC).
This work presents an orchestration framework for the automated deployment of component-based applications in the drone-edge-cloud continuum, which provides users with abstractions for describing the application’s placement and communication requirements, allocates resources in a mission-aware fashion by considering the drone operation area, establishes and maintains connectivity between components by transparently leveraging different networking capabilities, and tackles safety and privacy issues via policy-based access to mobility and sensor resources.
