The advancement of Agentic AI moves beyond simple language models, highlighting the need to model complex systems that integrate cognitive reasoning with autonomous execution. This Special Issue addresses how to computationally model and formalize agent decision-making processes, state management, tool utilization, and multi-agent interactions. In particular, we invite innovative research that bridges theoretical foundations with practical architectures—including the critical aspect of security integrity, which must be considered from the very modeling stage.
This Special Issue invites original research papers covering, but not limited to, the following fields.
- Modeling Agentic Cognition & Reasoning
* Mathematical modeling of agent self-planning and dynamic goal decomposition
* Hybrid modeling combining symbolic reasoning with neural networks
* Formalization of agent memory structures (long- and short-term) and knowledge update mechanisms
- Interaction & Workflow Modeling
* Modeling of cognitive interfaces for human-agent collaboration
* Design of abstraction layers for utilizing agent-specific APIs and manipulating external tools
* Prediction of agent behavior and probabilistic modeling in non-deterministic environments
- Security-by-Design in Agent Modeling
* Modeling of Privilege Boundaries: Formal security models for agent execution permissions and resource access control
* Trust Models: Models for inter-agent authentication and message integrity verification in multi-agent environments
* Threat Modeling: Attack surface modeling to identify vulnerabilities within agentic workflows
- Multi-Agent System Architectures
* Modeling of collective intelligence in large-scale agent populations
* Standardization of inter-agent communication protocols and semantic interoperability models
