ACTUATION USING COLLABORATION MODELS IN AN INTERNET OF THINGS SETTING

摘要

Methods and arrangements for determining one or more actions needed to execute a task communicated to a first device in an Internet of Things. At a first device in the Internet of Things, there is received a communication associated with a task. A data store is consulted for data associated with the task, and thereupon there is determined the present capability of the first device for executing the task collaboratively with at least one other device in the Internet of Things. The at least one other device is communicated with, to assess capability for executing the task collaboratively with the at least one other device. There are thereupon determined one or more actions of the first device that need to be taken to execute the task. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.

1. A method of determining one or more actions needed to execute a task communicated to a first device in an Internet of Things, said method comprising:
utilizing at least one processor to execute computer code that performs the steps of: at a first device in the Internet of Things, receiving a communication associated with the task; consulting a data store for data associated with the task; thereupon determining the present capability of the first device for executing the task collaboratively with at least one other device in the Internet of Things; communicating with the at least one other device to assess capability for executing the task collaboratively with the at least one other device; and thereupon determining one or more actions that need to be taken by the first device in executing the task.
