Method and system for generating a virtual device resource accessible by an application

A system, comprising:

• one or more devices configured to execute one or more applications to generate a request for discovery of information and to transmit the request for discovery of information to a discovery function device;
• the discovery function device, configured to convert the request for discovery of information into one or more requests which are compatible with one or more BigData repositories and to transmit the converted one or more requests to the one or more BigData repositories;
• and
• the one or more BigData repositories, configured to process the converted one or more requests to generate one or more processing results and to transmit the one or more processing results to the discovery function device;
• wherein the discovery function device is further configured to convert the one or more processing results into one or more descriptions of dynamically creatable virtual device resources and to transmit the one or more descriptions of dynamically creatable virtual device resources to the one or more devices configured to execute the one or more applications;
• wherein the one or more devices are further configured to execute the one or more applications to select one or more virtual device resources to be created by the discovery function device based on the one or more descriptions of dynamically creatable virtual device resources and to transmit the selection of one or more virtual device resources to be created by the discovery function device to the discovery function device;
• wherein the discovery function device is configured to generate the selected one or more virtual device resources to facilitate the one or more applications utilizing the one or more BigData repositories via the one or more virtual device resources.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon for one or more applications to utilize one or more BigData repositories via a virtual device resource, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, facilitate performance of the following:

• receiving, by a discovery function device, a request for discovery of information from the one or more applications;
• converting by the discovery function device, the received request into one or more requests which are compatible with the one or more BigData repositories to facilitate the converted one or more requests being processed by the one or more BigData repositories;
• transmitting, by the discovery function device, the converted one or more requests to the one or more BigData repositories for processing by the one or more BigData repositories;
• receiving, by the discovery function device, one or more processing results from the one or more BigData repositories based on the one or more BigData repositories processing the converted one or more requested;
• converting, by the discovery function device, the received one or more processing results into one or more descriptions of dynamically creatable virtual device resources;
• transmitting, by the discovery function device, the one or more descriptions of dynamically creatable virtual device resources to the one or more applications to facilitate the one or more applications selecting one or more virtual device resources to be created by the discovery function device based on the one or more descriptions of dynamically creatable virtual device resources;
• receiving, by the discovery function device, a selection of one or more virtual device resources to be created by the discovery function device;
• and
• generating by the discovery function device, the selected one or more virtual device resources to facilitate the one or more applications utilizing the one or more BigData repositories via the one or more virtual device resources.
