A computing node in an edge computing network includes a network interface card (NIC), memory storing a plurality of digital object representations of a corresponding plurality of participating entities, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry detects a message from a participating entity of the plurality. The message is received via the NIC and is associated with a messaging service of the edge computing network. The message is mapped to a service class of a plurality of available service classes based on a service request associated with the message. The message is processed to extract one or more characteristics of the service request. A digital object representation of the plurality of digital object representations is updated based on the one or more characteristics of the service request, the digital object representation corresponding to the participating entity.
