Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to a distributed computing task processor comprising a central computing entity and one or more mobile computing entities. The central computing entity is configured to generate task records corresponding to one or more tasks and to delegate various tasks to the one or more mobile computing entities. The mobile computing entities, in turn, are configured to complete the assigned tasks by retrieving data from various locations within a physical environment and/or by generating data locally on the mobile computing entity to be included in the task record to complete the task. The mobile computing entities may be configured to transmit the updated task records to the central computing entity for storage.
