Two of the key components of Microsoft Robotics are:

• Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR)
• Decentralized Software Services (DSS)

What you may not realize though is that these technologies have applications that go far beyond robotics.

• Read more about these technologies here - http://www.microsoft.com/ccrdss/
• Read case studies that show how this technology can be used in business here - http://www.microsoft.com/ccrdss/#CaseStudies

These technologies are also discussed in this Microsoft Robotics book
