Abstract
Techniques for orchestrating a workflow for configuring a computer networking environment or other complex workflows are described. A Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) that defines a plurality of tasks to be executed to complete the workflow and a plurality of orders between the tasks is received. Embodiments generate a State-Machine Neural Network (SNN) based on the received DAG, by generating a plurality of SNN neurons for the SNN, based on the plurality of tasks within the received DAG and generating a plurality of SNN connections for the SNN, connecting pairs of SNN neurons within the plurality of SNN neurons, based on the plurality of connections within the received DAG. The SNN is executed to orchestrate the workflow by sending and receiving signals to and from the SNN neurons.
