Abstract
In one aspect of the invention, a method for load balancing an application among a plurality of computing devices coupled with at least one access network for communication between the devices is provided. The method comprises storing the application on a server device coupled with the access network. The method also comprises measuring a set of application attributes associated with the application, including at least one performance attribute for characterizing a user perceived performance of the application. The method further comprises issuing a request, from a client device coupled with the access network, for the application. Additionally, the method comprises provisioning execution of the application on the client or server device in response to the request based on the set of application attributes. The method further comprises executing the application on the client or server device in response to provisioning the execution of the application.
