Abstract
Swarm-edge-cloud service-based applications (SESA) utilize UAV swarm nodes and edge-cloud computing infrastructures to perform complex tasks. These applications leverage distributed services across UAVs and edge resources, transitioning to cloud resources as needed, to support continuum computing, adapting to dynamic workloads, network conditions, and mission requirements. However, existing solutions lack robust mechanisms for dynamic policy enforcement in such environments. This paper introduces SAGELY (SwArm-edGE PoLicY), a framework for secure, efficient, and adaptive policy enforcement in dynamic SESA environments. SAGELY incorporates: (1) context-aware policy adaptation to adjust enforcement dynamically, (2) flexible policy enforcement across centralized and decentralized models, and (3) a pluggable service architecture for continuum context management. We present a testbed to enforce continuum policies and conduct experiments.
