A non-volatile computer readable medium includes computer program instructions to cause a computing device to perform steps in a process. The process comprises detecting an occurrence of an originating event; selecting, in response to the occurrence of the originating event, a unit of work from a queue; selecting, based at least in part on an identification script, a network available to accept the unit of work; sending the unit of work to a first configurable worker object in the network that encapsulates an application function capable of performing a processing task; processing the unit of work by the first configurable worker object; and indicating, by the first configurable worker object, that the unit of work has been processed.
