1. A method performed by a source edge application server in an edge computing system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a source edge enabler server, information on selection criteria for a target edge application server selection; and
receiving, from the source edge enabler server, a response with information on a target edge application server for an application context transfer,
wherein the target edge application server for the application context transfer is identified according to the information on the selection criteria, and
wherein the information on the selection criteria includes information indicating that a service continuity is required and at least one of application client expected key performance indicators (KPIs) or application client minimum KPIs.
