D3BA: A Tool for Optimizing Business Processes Using Non-Deterministic
  Planning
  This paper builds upon recent work in the declarative design of dialogue
agents and proposes an exciting new tool -- D3BA -- Declarative Design for
Digital Business Automation, built to optimize business processes using the
power of AI planning. The tool provides a powerful framework to build,
optimize, and maintain complex business processes and optimize them by
composing with services that automate one or more subtasks. We illustrate
salient features of this composition technique, compare with other philosophies
of composition, and highlight exciting opportunities for research in this
emerging field of business process automation.
