The MICO broker is responsible for orchestrating heterogeneous media extractor services, and hence is the key for realizing the potential of multi-modal and complex media extraction workflows. In addition to the broker, during the past months we also developed some workflow management functionalities, that turned out being very useful for increasing the usability of the whole platform.
