Claim 7:
8. A computer-implemented system comprising:
a storage comprising a manifest and a home directory; and
computing hardware comprising a processor that:
checks, using a first version of an ambient computing library, (i) the manifest in the storage to determine a device that provides a service and (ii) the home directory to identify the device as leader for the service, a respective leader for a respective service elected based on at least one of hardware or software capabilities sufficient to perform the respective service;
sends, using the first version of the ambient computing library, data to be processed using the service provided by the device to the device through a second version of the ambient computing library running on the device, wherein the device comprises different computing hardware than the computing hardware; and
receives, using the first version of the ambient computing library, data comprising results from the device through the second version of the ambient computing library, wherein the data comprising the results is generated by the device based on processing, with the service provided by the device using computing hardware of the device, the data sent to the device using the first version of the ambient computing library.
