Abstract
A network is configured. Constraints are stored. A plurality of processing stages is processed. For at least one of the plurality of processing stages, an application agent utilizes an input declarative requirement with at least some of the constraints to determine an output declarative requirement that is at a lower level than a level of the input declarative requirement. Each processing stage corresponds to an interaction agent that is able to specify the input declarative requirement for that stage.
