    Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to change a time sensitive networking schedule implemented by a softswitch are disclosed. Example apparatus disclosed herein to change a time sensitive networking schedule implemented by a first softswitch on a compute node include a network node configurator to deploy a second softswitch on the compute node based on a first configuration specification associated with the first softswitch, configure the second softswitch to implement an updated time sensitive networking schedule different from the time sensitive networking schedule implemented by the first softswitch, and replace the first softswitch with the second softswitch in response to a determination that a first set of constraints is met for simulated network traffic processed by the second softswitch based on the updated time sensitive networking schedule. Disclosed example apparatus also include a simulator to apply the simulated network traffic to the second softswitch.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to coordinate edge platforms are disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus includes to control processing of data associated with edges includes an orchestrator analyzer to determine a first performance requirement of a first microservice of an application and a second performance requirement of a second microservice of the application. The apparatus also includes an orchestrator controller to assign the first microservice and the second microservice across first and second edge nodes between a source network and a destination network by: assigning the first microservice to the first edge node based on a first capability of the first edge node satisfying the first performance requirement of the first microservice, and assigning the second microservice to the second edge node based on a second capability of the second edge node satisfying the second performance requirement of the second microservice.

    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, an apparatus, and a computer-implemented method. The computer-readable storage medium is of an edge computing system and is to identify a target edge node for deployment of a workload thereon. The computer-readable storage medium further comprises computer-readable instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to perform operations comprising: determining whether respective ones of candidate target edge nodes of a set of candidate target edge nodes of the edge computing system support workload determinism key performance indicators (KPIs) of the workload; in response to a determination that one or more candidate target edge nodes support the workload determinism KPIs, selecting a target edge node from the one or more candidate edge nodes; and causing the workload to be deployed at the target edge node.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a node of a data centric network (DCN) may receive a first service request interest packet from another node of the DCN, the first service request interest packet indicating a set of functions to be performed on source data to implement a service. The node may determine that it can perform a particular function of the set of functions, and determine, based on a backlog information corresponding to the particular function, whether to commit to performing the particular function or to forward the service request interest packet to another node. The node may make the determination further based on service delivery information indicating, for each face of the node, a service delivery distance for implementing the set of functions.

    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, an apparatus, and a computer-implemented method to select respective physical infrastructure devices of an edge computing system to implement services requested by respective service-requesting clients. The computer-readable storage medium includes computer-readable instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to perform operations comprising, for each candidate physical infrastructure device, calculating a utility score corresponding to each of the services requested, wherein: the utility score corresponds to one of each of the respective service-requesting clients or each subgroup of a plurality of subgroups of the respective service-requesting clients. The utility score is based on location-related attributes and resource-related attributes of said each candidate physical infrastructure device, resource-related attributes of said each of the services requested, and location-related attributes and movement-related attributes of one of said each of the respective service-requesting clients or said each subgroup of the plurality of subgroups of the respective service-requesting clients.
