Cognitive system comparison and recommendation engine

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computing device, causes the computing device to implement a cognitive system collaboration identification and recommendation system (CSCIRS) that operates to:

• store, in a cognitive system database, entries corresponding to a plurality of cognitive system instances, wherein each entry identifies operational characteristics of a corresponding cognitive system instance;
• receive, from a requestor, a request to identify a potential collaborative cognitive system instance;
• identify, based on the request and the cognitive system database, a candidate collaborative cognitive system instance;
• generate a collaboration recommendation based on the identification;
• and
• output an output corresponding to the collaboration recommendation, wherein the collaboration recommendation comprises a recommendation as to whether or not the candidate collaborative cognitive system instance should be incorporated with a requestor cognitive system instance associated with the requestor based on an evaluation of similarities and differences between the candidate collaborative cognitive system instance and the requestor cognitive system instance.

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to implement a cognitive system collaboration identification and recommendation system (CSCIRS) that operates to:
• store, in a cognitive system database, entries corresponding to a plurality of cognitive system instances, wherein each entry identifies operational characteristics of a corresponding cognitive system instance;
• receive, from a requestor, a request to identify a potential collaborative cognitive system instance;
• identify, based on the request and the cognitive system database, a candidate collaborative cognitive system instance;
• generate a collaboration recommendation based on the identification;
• and
• output an output corresponding to the collaboration recommendation, wherein the collaboration recommendation comprises a recommendation as to whether or not the candidate collaborative cognitive system instance should be incorporated with a requestor cognitive system instance associated with the requestor based on an evaluation of similarities and differences between the candidate collaborative cognitive system instance and the requestor cognitive system instance.
