Abstract: A method of performing rule evaluations, with the performance of the rule evaluations by at least one computer processor and storage of the rule evaluations by digital storage media, includes receiving a first input from a first sensor of a plurality of sensors; determining, by the at least one computer processor, which hierarchical nodes from a plurality of hierarchical nodes include a first rule that is dependent upon the first input; retrieving, from the digital storage media, the hierarchical nodes that include the first rule that is dependent upon the first input; and performing an evaluation of the first rule to determine a first output.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to dynamically configuring an Internet of Things (IoT) device and a processor interfacing the IoT device. The processor captures a specific one or more of a plurality of deployment configuration templates for the IoT. The IoT device is then configured by the processor based, at least in part, on the one or more of the plurality of deployment configuration templates captured. The processor then deploys software for use by the processor to interface with the IoT device configured. The software deployed is determined based on the one or more of the plurality of deployment configuration templates captured.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to transformations of data provided by an Internet of Things (IoT) device. A processor defines a data transformation corresponding to data transmitted by the IoT device in an IoT system. The data transformation includes a definition of a transformation of data from a first format to a second format and an identification (ID) of the IoT device. The processor then compiles the data transformation to produce compiled executable code for performing the data transformation. The processor registers the compiled executable code for the data transformation as an available transformation for various components of the IoT system. The processor facilitates execution of the compiled executable code so as to perform the data transformation upon a data stream provided by the IoT device.
