System and method of determining network locations for data analysis in a distributed ecosystem

摘要

A distributed ecosystem including an analysis computing resource and a network is disclosed. The distributed ecosystem also includes at least one sensor for monitoring a characteristic of the distributed ecosystem, at least one localized computing resource in communication with the at least one sensor, and a gateway controller. The gateway controller is in communication with the at least one sensor, the at least one localized computing resource, and the analysis computing resource. The gateway control includes control logic for monitoring the at least one sensor for a data transmit function. The gateway controller also includes control logic for determining if the at least one localized computing resource has requisite resource capabilities for processing data generated by the at least one sensor in response to the data transmit function being transmitted by the at least one sensor.
