This joint presentation includes two talks from our HPCC Systems academic community.
School Safety and Security Using RFID and Drones - Taiowa Donovan & Nick Schwartz, American Heritage School
The continuation of our school security project has grown to incorporate drones with thermal imagery along with RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) The new drone platform allows us to collect more detailed real time data, higher resolution real time images for the facial recognition software, double our flight time with extra battery capabilities, a camera with 56x zoom, a wide-angle camera for high-precision campus mapping, and a thermal camera for heat source inspection. This new drone has increased rapid response time to investigate security threats detected by our current patrol drones and security staff. Thermal cameras allow us to track students during code red events and have assisted in the training of security personnel.

Exploring the Capabilities of HPCC Systems in Facilitating Inter-Fog Communication - Henrique Antonio Buzin Vargas, Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC)
The increasing proliferation of devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) has generated significant challenges in terms of integration and interoperability due to the diversity of communication protocols. Fog computing has emerged as an effective solution to reduce latency and improve system efficiency by bringing data processing closer to the source. However, communication between different fogs and clouds still faces considerable obstacles due to the absence of a protocol conversion layer. This session will explore how HPCC Systems can be used to facilitate efficient communication between different fogs. The presentation will address a modular architecture that supports protocol conversion and communication between fogs and clouds, providing a flexible and scalable solution for IoT environments. Key topics to be discussed include an overview of HPCC Systems and its large-scale data processing capabilities, the structure and functionalities of the modular layered architecture developed to support interoperability between different devices and systems, the methodology adopted for the implementation and testing of the architecture, including the evaluation of its efficiency, latency, security, and scalability, and preliminary results and performance analysis of the architecture in practical scenarios. Lastly, insights will be shared about the challenges faced during the development of the architecture and proposed guidelines for future implementations. This session is aimed at researchers, developers, and technology professionals seeking solutions to improve the integration and efficiency of fog computing systems. Discover how HPCC Systems can transform communication and data processing in distributed environments and drive the evolution of IoT.
