Abstract
A client device may receive information that identifies tasks to be performed by worker devices. The tasks may include at least one task that is to be performed by all worker devices, and may include at least one task that is to be performed by one worker device. The client device may identify, based on the information that identifies the tasks, an order and dependencies associated with performing the tasks. The client device may determine a task, of the tasks, to be performed by a work device, of the worker devices, based on the order and the dependencies. The client device may send, to the worker device, information associated with performing the task, and may receive, from the worker device, an indication that the task has been performed. The client device may determine, based on the order and the dependencies, another task to be performed by the worker device.
