Abstract: This disclosure relates to a distributed state exchanging model for assets of an organization or entity for an identified task in a domain of interest. The model provides a context aware autonomous Internet of things (IoT) based cognitive edge network, wherein each node is aware of the state of the other nodes based on a subscription. The state information is seamlessly updated and maintained by a certifying node of each group. The nodes are grouped based on associated capability definitions such that at least some of the groups form a hierarchy within the cognitive edge network for completing the identified task. Since the network is context aware, a new sub-task towards completing the identified task is autonomously selected by either groups or by the nodes based on the context thereby obviating a need for centralized scheduling.
