DETERMINING CAPABILITIES OF COGNITIVE ENTITIES IN A DISTRIBUTED NETWORK BASED ON APPLICATION OF COGNITIVE PROTOCOLS

摘要

A computer-implemented method includes: detecting, by a computing device, a triggering of a discovery request event for discovering capabilities of each of a plurality of cognitive entities (CEs) in a distributed cognitive network; outputting, by the computing device, discovery requests to each of the plurality of CEs; receiving, by the computing device, respective responses to the discovery request from each of the plurality of CEs, wherein each respective response identifies capabilities of each of the plurality of CEs; generating, by the computing device, a capabilities mapping table based on the receiving the respective responses; and storing, by the computing device, the capabilities mapping table to process a pending or future service request based on capabilities criteria associated with the pending or future service request and the capabilities of each of the plurality of CEs identified in the capabilities mapping table.
