contents Virtual Network Embedding (VNE) approaches typically assume static or slowly-changing network topologies, but emerging applications require deployment in mobile environments where traditional methods become insufficient. This work extends VNE to constrained mesh networks of mobile edge devices, addressing the unique challenges of rapid topology changes and limited resources. We develop models incorporating device capabilities, connectivity, mobility and energy constraints to evaluate optimal deployment strategies for mobile edge environments. Our approach handles the dynamic nature of mobile networks through three allocation strategies: an integer linear program for optimal allocation, a greedy heuristic for immediate deployment, and a multi-objective genetic algorithm for balanced optimization. Our initial evaluation analyzes application acceptance rates, resource utilization, and latency performance under resource limitations. Results demonstrate improvements over traditional approaches, providing a foundation for VNE deployment in highly mobile environments.
