Claim 0:
1. A method for deploying workflows, the method comprising:
receiving, at a service controller of a federated controller, a request to deploy a workflow in a device ecosystem;
decomposing, by the service controller, the workflow into a plurality of workflow portions;
identifying 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;
making 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:
identifying 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;
selecting, based on a locality associated with the anchor point, an additional platform controller of the plurality of additional platform controllers; and
initiating performance of the workflow using the initial platform controller and the additional platform controller.
