Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to create a hypergraph of weighted vertices comprising computing resources and storage resources, and nets comprising workloads; to receive a plurality of requests to be addressed by a network associated with the hypergraph, at least some of the requests associated with data objects; to calculate partition schemes for the network based on the requests and the data objects according to an ant colony optimization heuristic; and to autonomously reallocate the workloads to the computing resources and/or the storage resources according to the partition schemes. The workloads may act as ants following a path defined by the vertices of the hypergraph. Further activities may thus include depositing pheromones along hyperedges of the hypergraph, wherein the hyperedges are used for swapping the vertices between the workloads. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
