Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products for facilitating the management of tasks in a distributed system with modular service architecture and distributed control functions are provided. The system includes an Application Manager, an Application Node, a Service Manager, and a number of Service Nodes that are capable of executing certain services. Upon receiving a task request from the Application Manager, the Application Node generates a task identifier associated with the particular task. The Application Node may then communicate with the Service Manager using the task identifier to receive a designation of a Service Node capable of executing the service required to complete the requested task. The Application Node can then communicate the service to the designated Service Node, including the task identifier. Once completed services are received from the various Service Nodes involved, they are assembled into a completed task using the common task identifier.
