CAPABILITY PROXY FOR SEMANTIC FUNCTION DISCOVERY AND PROVISIONING OF APPLICATION-REQUESTED CAPABILITIES

A computing system includes a capability proxy that receives a semantic description of a requested function capability; determines an execution constraint associated with the requested function capability; queries a function registry based at least in part on the requested function capability; and identifies, based on information returned from the function registry, a select function that provides the requested function capability and that has an execution characteristic satisfying the execution constrain. The capability proxy executes the select function and returns an output of the select function.
