Planing Service Instances: Pros and Cons

Disadvantages
• Process is synthesized each time: Inefficient
• Loops are problematic.
• Problem must have a goal state.

Advantages
• Process is synthesized on-demand: Agile.
• Agile response to changed or unexpected conditions.
• Messages exchanged in process are correct:
     no verification needed.
• Enterprise policies and preferences are respected.
• Explanations are a by-product of Redux model:
  e.g., "Cathy Johnson used because Jackie Brown denied the request."
