Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes registering as a listener for availability notifications from at least one low-availability device. The method further includes determining a data-collection schedule of the at least one low-availability device. In addition, the method includes maintaining a prioritized queue comprising required data items needed from the at least one low-availability device. Also, the method includes preparing, in advance of the at least one low-availability device becoming available, a request for at least one required data item. The at least one required data item includes a highest-priority data item in the prioritized queue. The method additionally includes, responsive to a notification that the at least one low-availability device is available, transmitting the request to the at least one low-availability device.
