Vehicular nano cloud

A computer program product included in at least one onboard vehicle computer, the computer program product comprising computer code that is operable, when executed by the onboard vehicle computer, to cause the onboard vehicle computer to execute steps including:

• identifying a vehicular micro cloud task to perform by a vehicular micro cloud;
• determining a plurality of sub-tasks to perform whose completion achieves performance of the vehicular micro cloud task;
• creating a set of nano clouds to perform the plurality of sub-tasks, wherein each nano cloud in the set is assigned at least one sub-task from the plurality to perform, each nano cloud includes at least one member of the vehicular micro cloud so that each nano cloud includes a membership roster, and different nano clouds in the set include different membership rosters relative to one another;
• causing the set of nano clouds to execute the plurality of sub-tasks in parallel at a first time;
• dynamically modifying the membership roster during execution of the plurality of sub-tasks at a second time so that at least some of the different membership rosters are different at the second time than they were at the first time;
• and
• completing the execution of the plurality of sub-tasks so that the vehicular micro cloud task is completed.

A system included in a hub vehicle of a vehicular micro cloud, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• a non-transitory memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the non-transitory memory stores executable code that is operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the processor to:
• identify a vehicular micro cloud task to perform by a vehicular micro cloud;
• determine a plurality of sub-tasks to perform whose completion achieves performance of the vehicular micro cloud task;
• create a set of nano clouds to perform the plurality of sub-tasks, wherein each nano cloud in the set is assigned at least one sub-task from the plurality to perform, each nano cloud includes at least one member of the vehicular micro cloud so that each nano cloud includes a membership roster, and different nano clouds in the set include different membership rosters relative to one another;
• cause the set of nano clouds to execute the plurality of sub-tasks in parallel at a first time;
• dynamically modify the membership roster during execution of the plurality of sub-tasks at a second time so that at least some of the different membership rosters are different at the second time than they were at the first time;
• and
• complete the execution of the plurality of sub-tasks so that the vehicular micro cloud task is completed.
