摘要
A method, a computer program product, and a computer system orchestrate devices of a device ecosystem. The method performed by an orchestrator includes receiving polling data from agents that are directly connected to the devices indicating simulations run by the devices for a cloud service. The method comprises determining a preview state of the device ecosystem. The method comprises determining an action to change a state of the device ecosystem based on the preview state. The method comprises generating an instruction for the action and the devices to perform the action. The method comprises transmitting the instruction to the agents, the agents actuating the change via the determined at least one of the devices performing the action. The orchestrator orchestrates the agents such that the devices are provided the cloud service isolated from a cloud computing system associated with the cloud service.

The exemplary embodiments relate generally to cloud and fog computing, and more particularly to device orchestration performed as an intermediary operation without requiring cloud processing.
In a network, a fog that utilizes fog computing or fog networking may provide an architecture that is positioned between a cloud and edge devices. The fog may be configured to perform a substantial amount of computation, storage, data and/or signal exchange, as well as other cloud and/or fog operations in a local manner which is subsequently routed over a network backbone. Although the fog may provide certain features, there may be instances where the cloud is required to perform operations, particularly cloud service operations.
For example, there may be a set of devices that share a common network in a fog but are functionally unrelated to each other. In such a scenario, an action or data in a device may not produce an effect on any other device. The combination of data from different devices may only be interpreted in the cloud through the cloud performing cloud service operations where logical aggregations may be defined and transformations applied. Accordingly, intelligence and automatic task triggering in the fog may be missed.
