  • Patent number: 12737251
    Abstract: Described is a method for utilizing machine to machine communications to facilitate capability sharing includes determining a first machine out of a group of machines has encountered an issue, that cannot be resolved, where the group of machines are connected via a machine to machine (M2M) communication mesh. The method also includes determining a solution to the issue encountered by the first machine while performing an assigned task The method also includes determining, based on structured messages provided by a management hub, a second machine from the group of machines can provide the first solution to the issue encountered by the first machine. The method also includes providing to the first machine a first sharable capability of the second machine, where the first sharable capability resolves the issue encountered by the first machine.

  • Publication number: 20240193443
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes deploying a policy to edge devices in an edge computing environment. The method further includes analyzing, using an artificial intelligence (AI) reasoning model, the policy to understand an intent of deploying the policy. The analyzing includes discounting a weight value assigned to data points that are determined to not apply to a current decision of a first of the edge devices. The method further includes causing the policy to be altered based on the analysis. A computer program product, according to another embodiment, includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are readable and/or executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform the foregoing method.
