Envisioned 5G applications are key drivers of the evolution of network and cloud architectures. These novel services pose several challenges on the underlying infrastructure in terms of latency, reliability or capacity, just to mention a few. Controlling or coordinating both indoor and outdoor drones from future networks is a potential application with significant importance. Today's technologies addressing network softwarization, such as Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), enable a novel way to create and provision such services. In this demonstration, we showcase an Industry 4.0 use-case including a local factory equipped with drones and local cloud and network facilities connecting to remote cloud resources. The envisioned service is realized by a Service Function Chain (SFC) consisting of network functions and logical connections between them with special requirements. In addition, the envisioned service is integrated with our multi-domain resource orchestration system and as a result, it can be controlled, deployed and monitored from that framework. The use-case and the demo well illustrate several aspects and challenges which should be addressed by future 5G systems.

Le serpent à tête de lion radiée, désigné par le nom Chnoubis ou Chnoumis, est l'une des figures familières des gemmes magiques de l'époque romaine impériale. Différentes traditions -médicales, astrologiques, lapidaires -attribuent à cette créature diverses compétences thérapeutiques (contre les maux d'estomac, pour la protection de la matrice...). Cet article dresse un bilan de l'iconographie de Chnoubis/Chnoumis qui apparaît sur différentes sortes de pierre, souvent de forme arrondie, et examine la signification et la fonction du « signe de Chnoubis » une haste barrée de trois S, qui lui est associé. Nous ferons aussi le point des différentes hypothèses concernant l'origine du personnage, notamment sur ses rapports avec Knem, le premier décan du lion, le dieu primordial Kematef (Kmeph), le dieu bélier Khnoum et les divinités solaires, ainsi qu'avec d'autres serpents comme l'Agathodaimon. Cette enquête nous permettra d'expliquer comment une entité décanique est devenue une puissante divinité solaire à part entière, associée au Dieu d'Israël, dont la popularité survit à l'Antiquité.
So-called magical gems constitute an especially rich body of material evidence for magic and religion in the Roman Empire. They differ from the ordinary run of gems in three respects: in their selection of iconographic types, normally divine images of one sort or another; by their use of magic words and occasionally longer texts, primarily in Greek script; and by their use of magic signs, usually called characteres. At least one of these three elements must be present for a gem to be identifiable as magical. These “Zaubergemmen” form the most easily distinguishable sub-group of the wider class of amuletic gems, that is, engraved stones of talismanic function. The majority of the iconographic schemes appearing on magical gems adhere closely to the classical Graeco-Roman and Egyptian traditions. Others, however, are unique to this class of gems: rare even on other magical objects, they are practically unknown outside this sphere in the whole variety of ancient art.
