Abstract

A method for executing an application on a distributed system architecture having an application client for receiving input data and for providing output data; a local application server on the application client; at least one remote application server for receiving input data from the application client for processing input data for the application client and for returning processed input data to the application client; and an application manager for assigning the application to the local application server or to the at least one remote application server. The method includes determining a first round-trip time, determining a second round-trip time, determining a tolerance time for receiving and processing input data for the application, comparing the two round-trip times with the tolerance time, and assigning the application to the local application server or to the at least one remote application server based on the comparison.
