Value-Preserving Architectures for Agentic AI Systems

The paper "Value-Preserving Architectures for Agentic AI Systems" discusses how architectural choices in large language model-based multi‑agent systems (MAS) can promote human‑centered values such as privacy, fairness, and safety. It introduces three value‑preserving architectural patterns: a privacy‑aware federated topology, a distributed architecture that encourages pluralism and diversity, and a guard‑agent design to detect and mitigate unfairness. Representative use cases illustrate how these patterns can be applied in real‑world scenarios, aiming to provide guidelines for building trustworthy MAS.

Agentic Service-Oriented Computing: A Manifesto for the Next Frontier of Service-Oriented Computing

arXiv:2607. 12619v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid emergence of LLM-powered autonomous and semi-autonomous agents is reshaping software systems from static, request-response components into goal-directed, adaptive, and tool-using computational actors.

Value-Sensitive Delegation in Everyday AI Agent Use: Evidence from OpenClaw

The paper examines how users delegate tasks to the AI agent OpenClaw by analyzing 73,093 Reddit posts. It identifies 21 human values grouped into six categories—such as Autonomous Operation, Dependable Operation, Affordable Operation, Bounded Reach, Reviewability, and Equitable Access—and finds that values are largely satisfied when users describe the agent’s outputs but often unmet when users discuss supervising the agent. The authors term this pattern "value‑sensitive delegation," emphasizing that supporting human values requires attention to both what an agent does and the conditions users set around its use.

AgentKernel: The Trust-Native Agentic Operating System

AgentKernel proposes a trust‑native operating system for AI agents, arguing that current governance layers are insufficient because they share the same process trust boundary as the agents. The OS introduces a mandatory enforcement boundary organized into four pillars—Identity, Perception, Cognition, and Execution—each adapting classical OS security principles to address semantic‑level failures such as prompt injection, memory poisoning, and tool misuse. By wrapping the agent lifecycle in this structured, non‑bypassable framework, AgentKernel aims to provide a unified security layer that can enforce identity, input mediation, memory governance, and execution control across the entire agent lifecycle.

OpenClaw and Ollama in Agentic AI: Toward Fully Autonomous and Scalable AI Agent Systems

arXiv:2607. 28629v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid transition from reactive large language models (LLMs) to persistent, action-capable systems has exposed critical gaps in the architectural understanding of Agentic AI, particularly in separating inference, orchestration, and execution layers for autonomous AI agents.
