Enhancing edge devices problem-solving in collaborative edge architectures

Abstract

Communication and task execution in a collaborative manner is disclosed. When a task is received, the task type is determined along with an archetypal device. Next, network-based communities are determined from a graph representing devices in a network. The graph is then searched to identify devices that are compatible with the task and the archetypal device. These devices represent a task-based network. The task-based network and the network-based communities are aligned. This may include establishing connections and network functions, such as virtual private networks and virtual network functions such that alignment is achieved. The task may be performed collaboratively by the devices in the task-based network after alignment.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
