Rapid advancements in computing have lead to sophisticated solutions for real world problems requiring complex logic, hefty interfaces and growing need of intelligence. This elaborates the importance of isolation of logic from interfaces and the availability of reusable standardized tools for tasks, most commonly required by various processes. Auto-Mate is a generic framework aimed at meeting these requirements. A novel approach has been adopted by employing Soar (a general cognitive architecture and AI engine) as a dedicated element for controlling the functionality of the system. The framework also focuses on providing standardized and generic interfaces for software components as well as physical links for hardware interconnection. The framework is made extendible, scalable and compatible with multiple platforms and services for supporting applications of variant magnitudes and scope. Auto-Mate is most suitable for process automation based on discrete events.
