D3BA: A Tool for Optimizing Business Processes Using Non-Deterministic Planning

英文摘要：

This paper builds upon recent work in the declarative design of dialogue agents and proposes an exciting new tool -- D3BA -- Declarative Design for Digital Business Automation, built to optimize business processes using the power of AI planning. The tool provides a powerful framework to build, optimize, and maintain complex business processes and optimize them by composing with services that automate one or more subtasks. We illustrate salient features of this composition technique, compare with other philosophies of composition, and highlight exciting opportunities for research in this emerging field of business process automation.
