Abstract:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, an apparatus, and a computer-implemented method to select respective physical infrastructure devices of an edge computing system to implement services requested by respective service-requesting clients. The computer-readable storage medium includes computer-readable instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to perform operations comprising, for each candidate physical infrastructure device, calculating a utility score corresponding to each of the services requested, wherein: the utility score corresponds to one of each of the respective service-requesting clients or each subgroup of a plurality of subgroups of the respective service-requesting clients. The utility score is based on location-related attributes and resource-related attributes of said each candidate physical infrastructure device, resource-related attributes of said each of the services requested, and location-related attributes and movement-related attributes of one of said each of the respective service-requesting clients or said each subgroup of the plurality of subgroups of the respective service-requesting clients.
