Abstract
A method provided in a network including edge devices to collect data from data producers connected to the edge devices and to communicate with cloud-based prosumers connected with the edge devices. Data analytics tasks are identified. The data analytics tasks are used to process data collected from a data producer among the data producers to produce a result for consumption by one or more of the cloud-based prosumers. For each data analytics task it is determined whether a computational complexity of the data analytics task is less than or equal to a predetermined computational complexity. Each data analytics task determined to have a computational complexity less than or equal to the predetermined computational complexity is assigned to an edge device among the edge devices. Each data analytics task determined to have a computational complexity that exceeds the predetermined computational complexity is assigned to a prosumer among the prosumers.
