1. A distributed control interface for managing interoperability and concurrency among agents and resources in a computer-based system, comprising:

  • a resource control interface configured to determine whether a requesting agent is capable of interoperating with an associated resource and does not present a concurrency conflict with any agent which currently has access to said associated resource; and

    an agent control interface associated with said requesting agent, configured to make a second determination as to whether said associated agent can interoperate with said associated resource when said resource control interface determines that said associated agent cannot interoperate with said associated resource,wherein the distributed control interface provides access to said associated resource to said associated agent when said associated agent is determined to be interoperable with said associated resource by either said resource control interface or said agent control interface and determined to not present said concurrency conflict.
