Dynamically adapting an internet of things (IOT) device

Abstract:

Aspects of the present invention provide an approach for dynamically adapting an Internet of Things (IOT) device in an existing intelligent system. In an embodiment, in response to a new IOT device being added to an intelligent system, a replacement score is determined for each existing IOT device in the system. The replacement score for a given existing IOT device can indicate: (i) an amount of overlapping capabilities between the existing IOT device and the new IOT device, (ii) an amount of additional capabilities of the new IOT device over the existing IOT device, (iii) an amount of performance improvement of the new IOT device over the existing IOT device, and/or the like. In response to the replacement score for an existing IOT device exceeding a predefined threshold, a proposed reconfiguration of the existing intelligent system is generated.
