Claim 9:
10. An electronic device for signaling a workflow manger for generating an NBMP workflow in a cloud-based platform for a media processing application, the electronic device comprising a memory for storing instructions and a processor for executing the instructions to:
determine an NBMP task among a plurality of NBMP tasks in an NBMP workflow of the media processing application;
identify a function from a function repository to be used by the NBMP task;
associate the function with an instance identifier, the instance identifier uniquely distinguishing an instance of the function in the NBMP task from other instances of the function in other NBMP tasks among the plurality of NBMP tasks;
obtain a configuration descriptor data structure of the function from the function repository;
determine a set of restrictions for the instance of the function in the NBMP task;
generate a function-restrictions data structure by applying the set of restrictions to the configuration descriptor data structure, the function-restrictions data structure being uniquely identified by the instance identifier; and
construct a process descriptor for the NBMP workflow comprising the function-restrictions data structure pared with the instance identifier for signaling instance-dependent restrictions of the function to an NBMP workflow manager.
