SMART PROVISIONING SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS ON EDGE DEVICES IN AN INTERNET-OF-THINGS ENVIRONMENT

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and system for provisioning software applications on edge devices (104A-N) in an Internet-of-Things (IoT) environment (100). In an embodiment, a method of provisioning a software application on the edge devices (104A-N) in the IoT environment (100) comprises detecting an event associated with provisioning a software application on at least one edge device (104A) communicatively coupled to an IoT cloud platform (102). The method comprises evaluating real-time resource capabilities of the edge device (104A) to execute the software application based on a resource requirement specification associated with the software application. Furthermore, the method comprises provisioning the software application on the edge device (104A) if the edge device (104A) has sufficient real-time resource capabilities to execute the software application.
