Abstract
Devices, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for job negotiation for workflow automation tasks are disclosed. An example method includes receiving a delegation of a task from a controller, wherein the task is one of a plurality of tasks that collectively forms a workflow, assessing an ability of the processing system to perform the task as defined in the delegation, suggesting a modification to the task as defined in the delegation, determining whether the modification was accepted by the controller, and declining the task when the modification is not accepted by the controller, and performing the task including the modification when the modification is accepted by the controller.
