Abstract
A system includes a master node and at least one worker node connected over a network. The master node includes a stack executable on a node within a cloudlet within the system. The stack includes a rule engine that includes rules and facts. The rule engine is accessible via an application programming interface (API) from plugins. The rule engine includes rules and facts. The rule engine also has access to network topology information pulled from the network. The rule engine uses the network topology information in allocating low-level tasks for a high-level task to worker nodes. The network topology information optimizes the performance of tasks within the system.
