Abstract
An approach is provided for providing load balancing in multi-level distributed computations. A distributed computation control platform determines closure capability data associated with respective levels of a computational architecture, wherein the respective levels include, at least in part, a device level, an infrastructure level, and a cloud computing level. The distributed computation control platform also determines functional flow information of the respective levels, one or more nodes of the respective levels, or a combination thereof with respect to at least one set of one or more computation closures. The distributed computation control platform further determines to cause, at least in part, processing at least the closure capability data, the functional flow information, or a combination thereof to determine: (a) a distribution of the one or more computation closures among the respective levels, (b) the one or more nodes, or (c) a combination thereof.
