Abstract

In a system environment comprising a plurality of computing resources, wherein at least a portion of the computing resources are mobile, a method manages a transfer of one or more portions of a data set between at least a subset of the plurality of computing resources in accordance with a data distribution process. The data distribution process comprises computing one or more probability values to estimate whether or not a given mobile computing resource that is seeking at least a portion of the data set will be in a vicinity of at least one other computing resource that currently has or can obtain the portion of the data set, and based on the computation step, causing a transfer of the portion of the data set to the given mobile computing resource over a communication link locally established between the two computing resources when in the vicinity of one another.
