Claim 0:
1. An IoT (Internet of Things) device management apparatus, comprising:
a locality calculating unit, including one or more processors, configured to receive a result of predetermined processing having been performed with respect to acquired information from an IoT device by an application executed by a compute so as to constitute a virtual machine and which, by determining a locality indicating a closeness of arrangement positions of a plurality of IoT devices that is positively correlated with a degree of coincidence among pieces of acquired information from the IoT devices representing received results, calculates locality information that is a result of the determination; and
a control unit, including one or more processors, configured to extract a pair of IoT devices with locality satisfying a threshold from the locality information and perform control for assigning applications related to the extracted pair of IoT devices to different computes.
