METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR QUANTIFYING THE HOLISTIC VALUE OF AN EXISTING NETWORK OF DEVICES BY MEASURING THE COMPLEXITY OF A GENERATED GRAMMAR

摘要

A method and apparatus for configuring a grammar to describe interactions between a plurality of devices in a network is disclosed. One aspect includes receiving a device capability of each of a plurality of devices by a network interface of the device and generating a reduced device list representing groupings of the plurality of devices based on device capabilities by the device's reduced device list generator Modeling one or more sequences of interactions between the plurality of devices using the device list reduced by the device's interaction sequence modeler, and based on one or more sequences of interactions modeled by the device's grammar configuration module And stores the grammar in the memory of the device.
