Method for storing and sharing a history of interactions between devices in a network

An apparatus for providing device interaction recommendations based on past interactions between devices in networks with similar network configurations, comprising:

• logic configured to receive first network configuration information and device interaction history information associated with a first device network, the first device network comprising a first plurality of devices, wherein the first network configuration information comprises capability information of each of the first plurality of devices, and wherein the device interaction history information comprises a history of interactions among the first plurality of devices;
• logic configured to aggregate device interaction history information of a plurality of device networks, the plurality of device networks including the first device network;
• logic configured to generate a set of interaction recommendations based on the first network configuration information, the device interaction history information, and the aggregated device interaction history information;
• logic configured to identify a second device network comprising a second plurality of devices and having second network configuration information that is the same as or similar to the first network configuration information, wherein the second network configuration information comprises capability information of each of the second plurality of devices;
• and
• logic configured to send the set of interaction recommendations to the second device network.
