1. A method for distributed edge computing (DEC), the method comprising:
obtaining a request from a computational resource provider (CRP) offering computational resources of the CRP;
validating the computation resources of the CRP, wherein validating the computation resources comprises determining a duration cycle of availability of the computation resources;
offering the computation resources of the CRP to a computational resource consumer (CRC);
obtaining a reservation request from the CRC for a portion of the computation resources of the CRP based on the duration cycle of availability;
installing CRC software on the CRP for DEC, where the CRP is configured to receive produced data related to the CRC software from a first localized device, the computational resources process the produced data, and forward processed data to a second localized device that has requested the processed data; and
installing a DEC system (DECS) agent on the CRP, where the DECS agent is assigned a domain name system (DNS) address, the DNS address of the DECS agent having been provided to the first localized device so that the first localized device has the DNS address to forward the produced data to the CRP; and
wherein the second localized device is notified of the DNS address in which to receive the processed data from the DECS agent.
