This paper proposes Ermes, a distributed platform that natively integrates state management into the FaaS paradigm, enabling the joint distribution of computational workloads and application state across the edge-to-cloud continuum.

This work introduces a Binary Linear Programming model to compute optimal placements and proposes a topology-aware greedy heuristic that efficiently approximates the optimal solution, making it suitable for periodic system reconfigurations.
