Abstract
A computer-implemented method for facilitating interoperation between communication devices of different networks following different protocols is provided. The computer-implemented method enables creating a virtual device. The virtual device is a software representation of a first communication device in a first network. The computer-implemented method further comprises linking a synchronization module within the virtual device to the first communication device. The synchronization module receives data related to one or more attributes of the first communication device. The computer-implemented method comprises linking at least one mapping module within the virtual device to a second communication device. The mapping module facilitates conversion of the received data and transmission of the converted data to the second communication device for facilitating interoperation therebetween.
