Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for controlling docking of an edge capacity with a cloud computing system. A bill of materials (BOM) enabled agent, executing on the edge capacity, sends a BOM data structure specifying components of a configuration of the edge capacity. A lookup operation of components of the BOM data structure is performed in a BOM controls mapping data structure to identify controls or policies applicable to the components of the BOM data structure. The identified controls/policies are transmitted to the BOM enabled agent for execution to determine if there are any violations. Results of the identified controls or policies are received which specify whether there are any violations of the controls/policies. In response to at least one violation being detected, docking of the edge capacity with the cloud computing system is denied. In response to no violations, the edge capacity docks with the cloud computing system.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for optimizing locations of micro-warehouses that minimize an aggregate carbon footprint within a geographical region. A first trained artificial intelligence model is used to extract, for a geographical region, a product demand of users located in the geographical region over a fixed time period, and delivery location clusters within the geographical region. The delivery location clusters output by the first trained artificial intelligence model is input into a regression model, the regression model outputting recommended locations of temporary micro-warehouses within the geographical region. A second trained artificial intelligence model is used to modify the recommended locations and output optimized locations based on reducing an aggregate carbon footprint caused by emissions resulting from transportation to and from the temporary micro-warehouses.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and program product enabling communication and collaboration between autonomous vehicles and non-autonomous driving along a shared roadway. Autonomous vehicles having difficulty traveling along the roadway or making driving decisions due to the presence of non-autonomous vehicles request deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).
