The Three-Ring Architecture: Governing Agents in the Era of On-Platform Organisations

arXiv:2606. 07119v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The current phase of enterprise AI deployment faces a structural failure: organisations are acquiring agentic capability without the infrastructure to govern it.

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.

From Single Chatbots to Governed Agent Ecosystems: An Agentic AI Pattern Catalogue and Orchestration Framework for Mission-Critical Hospital Information Management Systems

arXiv:2608. 07627v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hospitals are racing to embed AI, while coping with the surge in adaptation of the technology in other industries, into the triage management, documentation, scheduling, and revenue-cycle workflows, yet most deployments remain as fragmented pilots that stall at the edge of production, exposing patients and institutions to operational fragility, ungoverned risk, and mounting technical debt.

Risks and Controls for Multi-Agent Systems: an analytical framework for deployment of AI agents across organisational boundaries

The report introduces an analytical framework for assessing risks that arise when AI agents interact, especially as those interactions cross organisational boundaries. It defines three deployment tiers—singular governance, federated governance, and open environments—each with distinct governance requirements. For each tier, the report examines risk factors, failure modes, and controls, identifying who can apply them and highlighting gaps that require collective action.

A Contract-Centered Architecture for Scalable and Manageable Agentic Runtimes

The paper proposes a contract‑centered architecture for agentic runtimes, defining four shared responsibility objects—Skill, Harness, Scaffold, and an external data substrate—to manage capabilities, runtime, control boundaries, and data governance in enterprise AI deployments. It introduces a falsifiable hypothesis (P1) about cost‑aware capability‑capacity separability and outlines six measurable design conditions, proposing a cluster‑period randomized crossover experiment to test the hypothesis. The work presents a contract‑bounded runtime architecture, a source‑preserving data substrate, and a measurement protocol, though no implementation or empirical results are reported.
