Host system, process, object, self-determination apparatus, and host device
A method including executing a portion of a service which is part of at least one service provided by a system including a distributed computing platform; determining object capability parameters required to perform the executing; storing information about at least one target host device; generating an announcement message reporting presence of a service type and the object capability parameters; receiving information from other announcement messages; evaluating current host device capability parameters with respect to the object capability parameters; determining when the current host device capability parameters meet a criterion; initiating a migration request message from the object for migration of the object, the object including software code and processing instructions and service function instructions, the migration to a target object host device, when the module capability parameters meet a criterion; and managing the migration of the object to the target host device.
1. An electronic apparatus for communicating on a network, the electronic apparatus comprising circuitry configured to:
receive a target message comprising information from a network device;
determine whether the information meets a criterion for migration;
in a case that the criterion is met, initiate a migration process for migrating an object to the network device; and
in a case that the criterion is not met:
check if a request for a new resource to host the object exists, and
if the request for the new resource exists, initiate a process for generating the new resource.
2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:
in the case that the criterion is not met, migrate the object to the new resource.
3. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the criterion comprises a geographic location capability parameter.
4. The electronic apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the determination is based on a proximity of the geographic location capability parameter to a system resource.
5. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:
generate current capability parameters; and
generate an announcement message.
6. The electronic apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the announcement message comprises an identifier, an announcement type, and a service type.
7. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the information in the target message indicates that the network device is available in a particular geographic location.
8. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the object comprises a specific set of instructions to perform a service on the network.
9. An electronic apparatus for communicating on a network, the electronic apparatus comprising circuitry configured to:
receive a plurality of target requests from a plurality of network devices, each of the plurality of target requests comprising associated information;
select a network device from the plurality of network devices by using the associated information to determine the network device with a better geographic location among the plurality of network devices;
determine whether the associated information meets a criterion for migration; and
in a case that the criterion is met, initiate a migration process for migrating an object to the network device.
10. The electronic apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:
in a case that the criterion is not met:
check if a request for a new resource to host the object exists, and
if the request for the new resource exists, initiate a process for generating the new resource.
11. A method of communicating on a network comprising:
receiving, at an electronic apparatus, a target message comprising information from a network device;
determining whether the information meets a criterion for migration;
in a case that the criterion is met, initiating a migration process for migrating an object to the network device; and
in a case that the criterion is not met:
checking if a request for a new resource to host the object exists; and
if the request for the new resource exists, initiating a process for generating the new resource.
12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
in the case that the criterion is not met, migrating the object to the new resource.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the criterion comprises a geographic location capability parameter.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the determination is based on a proximity of the geographic location capability parameter to a system resource.
15. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
generating current capability parameters; and
generating an announcement message.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the announcement message comprises an identifier, an announcement type, and a service type.
17. The electronic apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the information in the target message indicates that the network device is available in a particular geographic location.
18. A method of communicating on a network comprising:
receiving a plurality of target requests from a plurality of network devices, each of the plurality of target requests comprising associated information;
selecting a network device from the plurality of network devices by using the associated information to determine the network device with a better geographic location among the plurality of network devices;
determining whether the associated information meets a criterion for migration; and
in a case that the criterion is met, initiating a migration process for migrating an object to the network device.
19. The method of claim 18 , further comprising:
in a case that the criterion is not met:
checking if a request for a new resource to host the object exists, and
if the request for the new resource exists, initiating a process for generating the new resource.
20. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a computer to:
receive a target message comprising information from a network device;
determine whether the information meets a criterion for migration;
in a case that the criterion is met, initiate a migration process for migrating an object to the network device; and
in a case that the criterion is not met:
check if a request for a new resource to host the object exists, and
if the request for the new resource exists, initiate a process for generating the new resource.
