Patent attributes
Described are platforms, systems, and methods to combine counts of activity correlations over time with a link salience method to identify collections of digital devices in an automated environment to identify sub-systems comprised of portions of the overall environment. The platforms, systems, and methods detect activity in a plurality of data sources associated with an automation environment; determine correlation in the detected activity between two or more of the data sources; store records of determined correlation in the detected activity over time in a data storage system; apply a link salience algorithm to the stored records of determined correlation in the detected activity to determine a salience property; and identify one or more subsystems in the automation environment based on the salience property.
