Abstract

Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for determining mobile device edge computing participation eligibility. Multiple mobile devices are identified for potential participation in an edge computing network. An eligibility score is computed for each mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices based on an estimated likelihood that the mobile device will remain within a predetermined distance of a local edge process server of an edge computing network for a duration exceeding a job time. One or more mobile devices are selected for participation in the edge computing network based on their respective eligibility scores.
