Abstract
A process automation platform and method for automating business processes are disclosed. The method can include defining a business process in metadata, and, based on that metadata, selecting microbots to perform micro-operations included in the business process. An event engine initiates execution of the business process using the microbots and manages data dependencies of the microbots within the process. Each of the plurality of microbots includes microbot metadata defining a micro-operation performed by the microbot, and execution of each of the plurality of microbots is initiated independently of the others of the plurality of microbots.
