From Language Models to Agentic AI: A Survey of Autonomous, Action-Enabled, and Collaborative LLM Agents

A unified, taxonomy-driven, and deployment-oriented survey of agentic AI systems, synthesizing recent advances through a modular reference architecture and a four-dimensional taxonomy that characterizes agents along the axes of autonomy, tool use, collaboration, and safety–governance is presented.

Coordination‐first or coordination‐last? AI agents in joint activity with human roles

This paper contrasts Coordination‐First architectures that explicitly address the competencies and constraints of coordinated joint activity across multiple roles and layers with the current Coordination‐Last paradigm that focuses primarily on deploy‐fast‐and‐fix‐later strategies.

Beyond Outcomes: Toward Process-Aware Software Agents

Autonomous programming agents are commonly evaluated by whether they solve software tasks, providing limited insight into the execution processes that lead to success or failure. We present a process-centric approach to evaluating agent behavior through trajectories. We introduce Graphectory, which captures the structu...

Agents in the Large: Perception-Centered Architecture for Persistent Agents

Pera describes a persistent agent organized around perception and control components that continually perceive service-relevant signals from episodic task executions, internal context, and changes in the surrounding environment, and use these signals to construct lifecycle tasks.

Value-Preserving Architectures for Agentic AI Systems

This paper argues that architectural choices influence not only the functionality and performance of MAS but can also promote value-oriented system behavior, laying the foundation for a unified set of architectural patterns and guidelines towards the design of trustworthy MAS.
