  • Publication number: 20170364542
    Abstract: In an approach for providing a framework to register a sensor module and manifest the capability the sensor module supports, a processor receives a first module registration request, wherein the first module registration request includes a sensor module and metadata. A processor determines that the first module registration request is compatible with a second module registration request by comparing data stored in a module database associated with the second module registration request to data within the first module registration request. A processor updates the module database with the metadata of the first module registration request. A processor generates a module delegate, wherein the module delegate provides data access and interaction interfaces based on the metadata. A processor generates a custom configuration component.
