Claim 14:
15. A system for deploying workflows, the system comprising:
a federated controller for a device ecosystem, the federated controller comprising a plurality of service controllers;
a service controller of the federated controller, comprising a processor and memory, and configured to:
receive a request to deploy a workflow in the device ecosystem;
decompose the workflow into a plurality of workflow portions;
identify an initial platform controller for a domain associated with an anchor point, wherein the initial platform controller previously expressed capabilities corresponding to a first workflow portion of the plurality of workflow portions;
make a determination that the domain associated with the initial platform controller is not able to perform remaining workflow portions of the plurality of workflow portions, wherein the remaining workflow portions of the plurality of workflow portions does not comprise the first workflow portion;
in response to the determination:
identify a plurality of additional platform controllers for additional domains that previously expressed capabilities corresponding to the remaining workflow portions of the plurality of workflow portions;
select, based on a locality associated with the anchor point, an additional platform controller of the plurality of additional platform controllers; and
initiate performance of the workflow using the initial platform controller and the additional platform controller.
