In the exemplary embodiments, the selecting program 134 may be a software, hardware, and/or firmware application configured to determine a state of a world or device ecosystem in which the smart devices 110 are a part or a preview thereof (referred to collectively or individually as the “state of the world”) based on the polling data from the smart devices as well as other complementary information such as the respective confidence scores associated with the polling data and historical data (e.g., information regarding how cloud services have been used, previous actions performed by agents 120 and smart devices 110 to affect the world with a corresponding previous result, prior orchestrations on historical cycles, etc.). The preview state of the world or device ecosystem may indicate an expected state of the world upon one or more actions being actuated by the smart devices 110. In determining the state of the world, the selecting program 134 may determine the tasks, actions, and/or operations that are to be performed by the smart devices to appropriately affect or change the world including the smart devices 110. Accordingly, the tasks may, in essence, allow the cloud service to be provided by the orchestrator 130 without requiring the cloud infrastructure or cloud components from performing corresponding operations. Upon determining the actions that are to be performed and determining which of the smart devices 110 are to perform a corresponding one of the actions, the selecting program 134 may generate an instruction that is transmitted to the agent 120 that is directly connected to the determined smart device 110 such that the agent 120 transmits the instruction to the determined smart device 110 via the direct connection. In this manner, the orchestrator 130 may provide a functionality of a brain of the device orchestration system 100 to decide what to do (e.g., on every cycle that the polling data is received) and which of the agents 120 to trigger for the appropriate smart device 110 to perform an action given historical and/or real time data (e.g., via simulations performed by the smart devices 110 to generate the polling data).
