Abstract
Systems and methods are described for implementing a coordinator within a coordinated environment, which environment includes set of coordinated devices managed by the coordinator. The coordinator can be provisioned with a set of tasks, each task corresponding to a segment of code that can be executed by the coordinator, such as to manage the coordinated devices. To assist in execution of the tasks, the coordinator can include a communications manager that enables communications between tasks. The communications manager can provide a language-independent interface to call for execution of tasks, pass information to a task, and obtain outputs of a task. In some embodiments, the communication manager may utilize a language-independent protocol, such as the hypertext transport protocol, and be configured to respond to requests addressed to uniform resource identifiers associated with the communications manager.
