Recent shift in the networking paradigm towards networking of information enables semantically rich interconnection and open interaction among the entities of well known services like video distribution and emerging applications like Internet of Things (IoT). Information-centric Networking (ICN) realizes a rich networking layer with ability to support computing and caching usable by any application. The success of ICN depends on enabling new services for which an ICN-based edge service framework was proposed. This paper extends our proposal by elaborating on service functions to enable contextual interaction between users and services. Towards this, an overview of the proposed ICN-based edge cloud framework is provided, with comprehensive discussion on service composition, orchestration, and routing logic with mapping to resources in the underlying substrate. In this work, we elaborate on an ICN perspective of a self managing network. We formulate the problem with optimization problems at different stages consisting of user's context and requirements, Service Level Agreement (SLA) and available resources. We demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach by means of simulation and analytical reasoning.
