The nerve and brain concept sounds fascinating, but I don't have enough background in sensors to quite grasp what you mean. Could you please provide a specific example?
One example is using it for network monitoring. Imagine an SNMP agent as a sensor, managed by a nerve, which gathers information via SNMP Gets and other techniques to build a semantic model from one or more SNMP Management Information Blocks (MIBs). This then is reasoned over, aggregated up the chain, further reasoned over, and fed into rules that trigger model changes that get propagated to the nerves, who translate those changes into SNMP management actions.
