Abstract: Method for distributed asynchronous dependency-based content processing includes: receiving a multi-media digital content and a task to be performed on the multi-media digital content; determining types of the multi-media digital content; generating a workflow graph for each type of the content, each workflow graph including data dependency conditions of the task; generating a task message for each workflow graph; broadcasting the task messages to a respective task queue of an initial state of a workflow manager; responding to the broadcast task messages by a respective processing node; processing the task based on the respective workflow graph in the broadcast task message, and including a result of the processing for each workflow graph in a result message; broadcasting the result messages by the respective processing node; accumulating the broadcast result messages responsive to respective workflow graphs; and outputting the accumulated results to a user or an external system.
