Abstract: An IoT electronic device executes services distributed by an IoT service orchestration device. A Lightweight Machine-to-Machine (LwM2M) request message is received. The LwM2M request message contains a LwM2M object identifying hardware resources of the IoT electronic device for which characteristics are requested. A LwM2M command is executed that accesses a LwM2M interface identified based on content of the LwM2M object to determine the characteristics of the hardware resources of the IoT electronic device which are identified by the LwM2M object. A response message contains information identifying the characteristics of the hardware resources of the IoT electronic device. The response message is communicated toward the IoT service orchestrator device. A service image is received for execution which is adapted by the IoT service orchestrator device, responsive to the information in the response message identifying the characteristics of the hardware resources of the IoT electronic device.

Abstract: A method (100) for orchestrating execution of a complex computational operation by at least one computing node is disclosed, wherein the complex computational operation can be decomposed into a plurality of component computational operations. The method, performed by an orchestration node, comprises discovering at least one computing node that has exposed, as a resource, a capability of the computing node to execute at least one component computational operation of the plurality of component operations (110). The method further comprises, for each component computational operation of the complex computational operation, selecting a discovered computing node for execution of the component computational operation (120), and sending a request message to each selected computing node requesting the selected computing node execute the component computational operation for which it has been selected (130). The method further comprises checking for a response to each sent request message (140).

Abstract: Dynamic distribution of a computational graph that defines a set of operations comprising a first subset of one or more operations and a second subset of one or more operations. In one aspect, there is a method for generating output data based on the computational graph. The method includes a first device storing information related to the computational graph, the information related to the computational graph comprising information representing the first subset of operations. The method also includes the first device receiving input data and the first device performing the first subset of operations using the received input data, thereby producing first output data corresponding to the first subset of operations. The method further includes the first device exposing the first output data as a discoverable resource so that the first output data is discoverable by other devices.
