Claim 10:
11. An apparatus for controlling cognitive functions in a network, the cognitive functions each comprising a learning module adapted to observe characteristics of the network and an inference module adapted to conclude, from the characteristics observed by the learning module, on a behavior of the network resulting from the observed characteristics, the apparatus comprising
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform:
halting and/or restarting operation of the learning module of a cognitive function of the cognitive functions;
controlling operation of the inference module of the cognitive function independently from the halting and/or restarting the operation of the learning module of the cognitive function; and
upon detecting a predetermined event, setting, via a first interface, at least one of a learning state for the learning module or an inference state for the inference model to a first predetermined value and transmitting, via the first interface or a second interface, the at least one of the learning state and the inference state to the network.
