Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 3:
4. The node of claim 2, wherein, to update the local joint policy, the node is further configured to:
calculate respective normalized maximum computation request backlogs and respective normalized maximum data request backlogs for computation requests of one or more queues at the node according to the local joint policy, the backlogs being differences between counters of the node and corresponding counters of the neighboring nodes; and
determine a maximum among the respective normalized maximum computation request backlogs and the respective normalized maximum data request backlogs according to the local joint policy to identify a computation request or representation thereof or a data request for at least part of a data object to forward to the neighboring nodes, and wherein the node is further configured to forward the identified computation request or representation thereof or data request for at least part of a data object to the neighboring nodes.
