Abstract:
System, methods, and embodiments described herein relate to managing benefit distribution in a vehicular micro cloud in which a plurality of vehicle members collaboratively execute operations in an environment of the vehicular micro cloud. A disclosed method may include monitoring a distributed execution of a micro cloud operation initiated by the ego vehicle, determining a contribution level of a vehicle member of the vehicular micro cloud that contributed toward completing the micro cloud operation, storing a record indicating the contribution level, identifying an occurrence of an event, the event being a micro cloud interaction or encounter with the vehicle member subsequent to completion of the micro cloud operation, determining, based at least in part on the record indicating the contribution level, a reciprocal task that benefits the vehicle member, and executing the reciprocal task during the event.
