Abstract
An information management system for a device network is disclosed. The information management system may include a service requester node, a monitoring node, and a service provider node. The system may include a service oriented request message including a message header, having a list of destination nodes, including the service provider node, to which the service oriented request message is addressed, and a service request. The system may include a routing module disposed in the monitoring node and configured to analyze the list of destination nodes in the message, create a modified message including at least one child node selected from the service provider nodes based on a fan-out of the device network, and forward the modified message to the at least one child node, the modified message including a message header, having an updated list of one or more destination nodes, including the service provider nodes, to which the modified message is addressed, and the service request. The routing module may be configured to receive a response to the service request from the at least one child node, aggregate the response received into a single message, and send the single message to a parent node in the device network.
