    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for managing mutual and transitive trust relationships between resources, such as Fog/Edge nodes, autonomous devices (e.g., IoT devices), and/or analog/biological resources to provide collaborative, trusted communication over a network for service delivery. Disclosed embodiments include a subject resource configured to assign an observed resource to a trust zone based on situational and contextual information. The situational information may indicate a vector of the observed resource with respect to the subject resource. The contextual information may be based in part on whether a relationship exists between the subject resource and the observed resource. The subject resource is configured to determine a trust level of the observed resource based on the determined trust zone. Other embodiments are disclosed and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Automated methods and apparatuses for charging or fueling a vehicle include provision of a plurality of tags and a controller to a vehicle. The plurality of tags are respectively installed at a plurality of positions on a top face of a roof of the vehicle. The controller is configured to cause information about a charging or fueling port of the vehicle to be transmitted to a charging or fueling system of a charging or fueling station. The charging or fueling system, provided with a charging connector or fueling nozzle, and an imaging device, uses at least the information about the charging or fueling port and the plurality of positions of the plurality tags to determine a location of the charging or fueling port of the vehicle, to charge or fuel the vehicle.

    Abstract: Each of a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices includes at least one sensor. At least some of the plurality of IoT devices may have a single, low power, state. At least some of the plurality of IoT devices may have a first, low-power, low-bandwidth, “STANDBY” state and a second, high-power, high-bandwidth, “ACTIVE” state. Controller circuitry, that may include sensor abstraction circuitry and/or analytics circuitry receives a signal from a first IoT device, analyzes the signal and determines whether to transition a second IoT device from the STANDBY state to the ACTIVE state. The controller circuitry beneficially minimizes power consumption and bandwidth requirements for the second IoT device. The controller circuitry also determines at least one of: an event context or an environmental context.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises circuitry, wherein the circuitry is configured to: receive, via a communications network, context information for a first set of one or more edge devices, wherein the context information identifies an operating environment of the first set of edge devices based on information from one or more sensors; receive, via the communications network, workload information for a second set of one or more edge devices; determine workload assignments for the first set of edge devices based on the context information for the first set of edge devices and based on the workload information for the second set of edge devices; and transmit, via the communications network, the workload assignments to the first set of edge devices.
