Abstract: A system receives one or more messages including information related to one or more issues associated with a software application installed on a user device. In response to receiving the message, a processor in the system identifies a user context associated with the user device, wherein the user context comprises usage information related to the software application. The processor further analyzes the received information and the user context associated with the user device to determine one or more errors associated with the software application. One or more software updates that are available and associated with the one or more errors are determined. The system automatically installs one or more of the determined software updates on the user device. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for managing and installing one or more software updates in substantially the same manner as is described above.

Abstract: The disclosure provides Internet of Things (IoT) systems organized as tree hierarchies in which rule processing can occur at each level of the tree hierarchies. In the IoT system according to one embodiment, formulas are defined and centrally managed at a cloud hub that is a root of a tree hierarchy. Each formula defined at the cloud hub is further percolated down to a hub, which may be the cloud hub itself or a local hub, in the tree hierarchy that is logically closest to devices specified in the formula. Each of the cloud and local hubs in the IoT system may utilize the same core IoT platform image, providing ease of management. In addition, formulas may be defined with basic stimuli and responses, as well as with higher-order stimuli and responses that combine one or more other stimuli and responses, respectively.
