Method and device for managing application program

A device for managing a global application program in a communications network, the device being a first edge computing platform of the communications network, and comprising:

• a memory;
• and a processor;
• wherein the memory is configured to store program instructions, which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• obtaining a first application program component of the first edge computing platform and a second application program component of a second edge computing platform of the communications network from a center computing platform located in a core network of the communications network, wherein each of the first application program component and the second application program component is an application program component in the global application program, wherein the first edge computing platform is located in a network device on an access network of the communications network and the second edge computing platform is located in a terminal device of the communications network, creating an instance of the first application program component, and allocating an identity to the instance of the first application program component, sending the second application program component and an identity of an instance of the global application program to the second edge computing platform, winch installs the second application program component thereon, and associating the identity of the instance of the global application program, an identity of the instance of the first application program component of the first edge computing platform, an identity of the second edge computing platform;
• after sending the second application program component to the second edge computing platform obtaining, by the first edge computing platform, an application program event report;
• and generating, by the first edge computing platform based on the application program event report, one or more of an application program component module corresponding to the identity of the instance of the first application program component of the first edge computing platform, or an application program component module corresponding to an identity of an instance of the second application program component of the second edge computing platform, wherein each of the one or more application program component modules comprises at least one of a process module, an event trigger module, an execution action module, and an algorithm module.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing program instructions for managing a global application program in a communications network, which program instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining a first application program component of a first edge computing platform of the communications network and a second application program component of a second edge computing platform of the communications network from a center computing platform located in a core network of the communications network, wherein each of the first application program component and the second application program component is an application program component in the global application program, wherein the first edge computing platform is located in a network device on an access network of the communications network and the second edge computing platform is located in a terminal device of the communications network, creating an instance of the first application program component, and allocating an identity to the instance of the first application program component, sending the second application program component and an identity of an instance of the global application program to the second edge computing platform, which installs the second application program component thereon, and associating the identity of the instance of the global application program, an identity of the instance of the first application program component of the first edge computing platform, an identity of the second edge computing platform;
• after sending the second application program component to the second edge computing platform obtaining, by the first edge computing platform, an application program event report;
• and generating, by the first edge computing platform based on the application program event report, one or more of an application program component module corresponding to the identity of the instance of the first application program component of the first edge computing platform, or an application program component module corresponding to an identity of an instance of the second application program component of the second edge computing platform, wherein each of the one or more application program component modules comprises at least one of a process module, an event trigger module, an execution action module, and an algorithm module.
