Abstract: A system for controlling data storage and software access in a multi-device computing network enables the storage, and more preferably the temporary storage of local dataset data and system modules on one or more client devices, such as data owner client devices and/or surrogate client devices, which can then only be accessed based on specific thresholds or characteristics which may be input, defined, selected, by a data owner. The system allows known and permissioned client users that meet such thresholds and characteristics to access, process and decrypt various encrypted data that has been stored, in whole or in part, across one or more owner client devices and/or surrogate client devices, while the system modules required to process the data of a local data set are moved to the secure location(s) by being stored on one or more owner client devices and/or surrogate client devices.

Abstract: A computer implemented computing valuation system may include: a job submitter providing a compute job result request; a plurality of compute job resources each having one or more computing properties; and processor logic that may be configured to: divide the compute job result request into a plurality of computing tasks; create an execution plan which maps each computing task to one or more compute job resources based on one or more of their respective computing properties; assign a resource cost to each computing task and compute the total of all the resource costs; provide a job cost to the job submitter; dispatch the plurality of computing tasks to the mapped compute job resources; receive task results from the mapped compute job resources; collate the task results into a compute job result; validate the compute job result; and provide the compute job result to the job submitter.
