arXiv Paper Proposes Contract-Based Architecture for Enterprise Agent Runtimes
A new arXiv paper outlines an architecture for enterprise agentic systems built around explicit responsibility contracts, defining roles such as Skill, Harness, Scaffold, and an external data substrate. The authors argue this contract-centered framing makes it easier to scale and manage agents as capabilities, compute capacity, and governed data change independently. The work emphasizes cost-aware design for coordinating these components.
