Orchestrating Intelligent Agents and Automated Workflows

As automatic speech recognition, computer vision, and automatic language translation become commodity cloud services, the web is transforming into an intelligent service-oriented application platform. Beyond available cloud services, competing enterprises are investing in the creation of knowledge databases that permit automated internet agents to become intelligent knowledge worker partners. These trends suggest the emergence of complex interconnected agent-based workflows that would decompose a high-level goal into parallel subtasks, continuously evaluate progress, orchestrate the subtasks, and identify and remediate bottlenecks or problems.
