Abstract

A computing device supports distributed application execution by receiving an application definition that identifies a plurality of platform-independent device functions to be performed by an application, and mapping the platform-independent device functions to corresponding code modules stored in a code module repository. The computing device distributes the corresponding code modules to a plurality of remote devices for distributed execution of the application by the remote devices according to device-specific support for the platform-independent device functions by the remote devices. The distributing includes sending a given code module to different remote devices that have different device-specific support for the platform-independent device function corresponding to the given code module.
