System and method for implementing a federated forecasting framework

A system that implements a framework that connects a plurality of complex forecasting components, the system comprising:

• a data store that stores datasets used as inputs to a plurality of forecasting components;
• a validation engine, comprising a computer processor coupled to the data store, that analyzes the datasets based on a plurality of rules and specifications and generates a report comprising an indication of compliance;
• a control processor that centralizes management of the plurality of forecasting components and run data and further orchestrates actions and events associated with each forecasting component;
• a plurality of agents, where each agent represents a connector that enables communication between each forecasting component and the framework;
• a plurality of composite agents, where each agent represents a process to run a combination of agents, decisions, calculations, interaction with external systems or logic;
• an application programming interface that allows control for one or more operations performed by the forecasting components;
• and
• a user interface that provides access control for one or more operations performed by the forecasting components.
