Abstract

An apparatus in one embodiment comprises a processing platform implementing an Internet of Things (IoT) distributed management system accessible to a plurality of user devices over at least one network. The processing platform is configured to determine IoT infrastructure for a given IoT deployment in at least one particular usage context, to control placement of multiple workflow processes for the IoT deployment over a plurality of distributed locations within the IoT infrastructure, and to manage execution of the workflow processes at the distributed locations in accordance with one or more constraints of the particular usage context. The IoT deployment comprises one or more IoT platforms each configured to interact with a different set of IoT devices. The placement of multiple workflow processes over the plurality of distributed locations illustratively provides a designated distribution of data, services, applications and analytics for the IoT deployment in the particular usage context.
