Abstract: Embodiments include methods, systems and computer programs for deployment and execution of tasks in a network of computing devices. Aspects include creating by a requester device of a task for deployment and execution in the network wherein the task is composed of a set of computing and sensing programs and a task representation that includes at least one of computing requirements, data requirements, and context requirements and transmitting the task representation to at least one member of the network of computing devices. Aspects also include selecting a plurality of computing devices in the network that match at least one of the computing requirements, the data requirements, and the context requirements in the task representation and deploying each of the set of computing and sensing programs of the task to the selected computing devices.

Abstract: A system that incorporates teachings of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving segment ratings and semantic labels associated with media content from a group of first communication devices, analyzing the segment ratings and the semantic labels to identify universal segments among the plurality of segments that satisfy a threshold based on common segment ratings and common semantic labels; and providing universal reactions and an identification of the universal segments to a second communication device for generation of a content rating for the media content based on the universal segments and reaction data collected by sensors of the second communication device, where the universal reactions are representative of the common segment ratings and the common semantic labels for the universal segments. Other embodiments are disclosed.
