Abstract

Software is deployed to, and executed at, one or more computing devices in a computing system based on current conditions in the computing system and the capabilities of the different computing devices to handle the software. A request to run a software process calls a manager which determines an optimal place to run the software process. The manager can consider factors such as response time, user demands, bandwidth, processor utilization, storage utilization, security considerations, compatibility considerations and cost. Once a computing device is selected to run the software process, the manager facilitates movement of code and/or data to the computing device.
