One further example

• You have a virtual sensor at home providing data on  temperature (T) at regular intervals (SENSE)
• Your local intelligence is the following (THINK)
• if  T>TTh switch on the virtual air conditioning (ACT)
• Notice that the thresholds TTh are initially set to arbitrary values 
• The current value of T is delivered to a central server that builds the distribution of the collected temperature in the form of an histogram
• If the mean M of the histogram is changed by 1% thens the threshold is set to the new mean
