Abstract

One or more distributions, to service execution environments, of component services associated with a composite service associated with an analysis of data generated by one or more sensors, may be determined, the composite service including an ordering of execution of the associated component services for the analysis of the data, at least one of the service execution environments located at a first network node associated with a device layer and at least one other one of the service execution environments located at a second network node associated with a middleware layer. An evaluation of each of the distributions of the component services may be determined based on a metric associating weighted values with a consumption by each distribution of respective resources associated with each of the first and second network nodes. A recommendation including one or more of the distributions may be determined based on the evaluation.
