Description

Managing complex distributed applications in the Cloud-Edge continuum, including deployment on diverse resources and runtime operations, presents significant challenges. Orchestrators play a key role by automating resource discovery, optimisation, deployment, and life-cycle management while ensuring system performance. This paper introduces Swarmchestrate, a decentralised, application-centric orchestration framework inspired by self-organising Swarms. Our initial findings, based on the implementation in a Cloud-Edge simulator, demonstrate Swarmchestrate's potential, offering insights into resource coordination and optimised allocation for scalable systems.
