Abstract

Technologies for autonomously determining conditions to achieve a goal include determining a goal to be achieved, determining a pool of available resources usable to achieve the goal, determining a set of rules to be satisfied to achieve the goal, updating the pool of available resources based on the determined set of rules, and determining the conditions required to achieve the goal utilizing resources from the updated pool of available resources that satisfies the set of rules. A set of final conditions may be determined to achieve a set of multiple goals. The goals, rules, and resources may be provided by a user, an agent of the resources, or otherwise determined or inferred by the disclosed system.

determine a set of rules the define requirements to be satisfied to achieve the goal, wherein the set of rules includes at least one rule defined by the user;

update the pool of available resources based on the set of rules to generate an updated pool of available resources; and

determine a set of conditions required to achieve the goal utilizing resources from the updated pool of available resources that satisfy the set of rules.

11. The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 10, wherein to determine the goal to be achieved comprises to determine the goal to be achieved based on multiple goal requests received from multiple users of the system.

12. The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 10, wherein to determine the goal to be achieved comprises to determine the goal to be achieved based at least in part on a goal request received from an agent of a resource usable to achieve the goal.

13. The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 10, wherein to determine the pool of available resources comprises to determine an agent of a resource usable to achieve the goal.

14. The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 13, wherein to update the pool of available resources comprise to remove the agent from the pool of available resources based on the set of rules.

15. The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 10, wherein to determine a set of conditions comprises to determine a set of conditions that include actions to be performed by the user or an agent of a resource of the pool of available resources.
