mobile devices (IoTx), so does the volume of data traffic and security challenges. One of the unique_x000D_
characteristic of this emerging computing paradigm is the fluctuation of computing needs. In fact, no data_x000D_
collection or processing is required until the sensors are activated or mobile devices become online. Therefore,_x000D_
for efficiency requirements, network functionalities and specialized services should be delivered and deployed_x000D_
just in time. In addition, dedicated Frameworks should be developed to enable their fast and real-time update._x000D_
Based on state of the art virtualization technologies, it is difficult to move applications or functions to different_x000D_
network segments, mainly because of their embedded technologies and platform association. In addition, cross_x000D_
platform workload mobility (e.g., from Openstack cloud to AWS or Google ) is still a big challenge._x000D_
The main objective of the proposed research is to contribute to the development of novel methods and tools_x000D_
allowing efficient and live on-demand deployment of network functions that will run on IoT edge equipment., program purpose french : As the Personal Area Networks and small local Capillary Networks grow with the proliferation of sensors and_x000D_
