In an approach for converging a cloud computing environment and a mobile device into an integrated environment, a processor receives a request to complete a computing task on a first device, wherein the computing task requires a physical sensor. A processor determines that the computing task should be offloaded from the first device to a second device based, at least in part, on the first device lacking the physical sensor and the second device having the physical sensor. A processor offloads the computing task from the first device to the second device. A processor receives a result of the computing task from the second device.

The present invention provides a method and system for distributing resources for operating applications within a network by determining a composite resource consumption of the network of resources distributed throughout the network, and determining minimum, maximum and average values of each of the resources required to operate the applications. When an application is introduced into, or removed from, the network, then a change in the composite resource consumption of the network is determined and a software patch is generated to adjust resource distribution throughout the network so that resource allocation to active applications is normalized for optimal operation.

System and method for distributing resources throughout a network

In an approach for converging a cloud computing environment and a mobile device into an integrated environment, a processor receives a request to complete a computing task on a first device. A processor identifies capabilities of the first device. A processor monitors resource utilization on the first device. A processor determines that the computing task should be offloaded based, at least in part, on the capabilities of the first device and resource utilization on the first device. A processor offloads the computing task. A processor receives a result of the computing task.
