Abstract: Systems and methods to leverage and manage data and knowledge in a M2M or Internet of Things (IoT) network are provided. More particularly, a cognitive intelligence platform for an IoT network that provides autonomic decision support system at or near real-time and executes a dynamic runtime is provided. The hardware, software and communication design of the platform replicates the structural and operational model of the human nervous system to achieve cognitive intelligence through adaptation, collaborative learning, knowledge sharing and self-adjustment. Further, in one embodiment, the cognitive intelligence platform has three logical processing layers of increasing complexity, each of which has agents that use statistical and machine learning techniques and algorithms to resolve situational needs and update knowledge. Furthermore, each processing layer of the platform has a basic level of intelligence and additionally the hierarchy of layers aggregates the learning and intelligence at each layer.
