Agentic AI Service Architecture Based on SOA

Abstract

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) structures applications into collections of modular, independent, and reusable services. We propose an SOA-based intelligent service agent framework for building AI applications that decomposes complex tasks into independent functional units. In the framework, the agent operates as an intelligent executor that dynamically orchestrates and invokes diverse services and tools to achieve its goals. The agent is exposed as a self-contained service with a well-defined API, allowing external applications to invoke it directly. By instrumenting requests and responses at both the service and agent layers, the framework enables tracing of the agent’s capabilities, performance, and decision-making. We present the design of an operational scheme for the agent with DID handling, verifiable credentials (VC), and verifiable presentations (VP). Each of the agents collaborates on a shared workspace based on blackboard to handle tasks to reach a goal. Finally, we demonstrate its feasibility through a proof-of-concept (PoC) for Agentic AI service architecture. This proof-of-concept, structured across Phase 1 (discovery, verification, and scoped authorization) and Phase 2 (problem posting and blackboard-mediated collaboration), demonstrates that DID-backed credentialing can securely support multi-agent execution under a least-privilege operational model.
