- Abstract: Many challenges in today's society can be tackled by distributed open
systems. This is particularly true for domains that are commonly perceived
under the umbrella of smart cities, such as intelligent transportation, smart
energy grids, or participative governance. When designing computer applications
for these domains, it is necessary to account for the fact that the elements of
such systems, often called software agents, are usually made by different
designers and act on behalf of particular stakeholders. Furthermore, it is
unknown at design time when such agents will enter or leave the system, and
what interests new agents will represent. To instil coordination in such
systems is particularly demanding, as usually only part of them can be directly
controlled at runtime. Agreement technologies refer to a sandbox of tools and
mechanisms for the development of such open multiagent systems, which are based
on the notion of agreement. In this paper, we argue that agreement technologies
are a suitable means for achieving coordination in smart city domains, and back
our claim through examples of several real-world applications.

Existing multi-agent frameworks often struggle with integrating diverse capable third-party agents.
We propose the Internet of Agents (IoA), a novel framework that addresses these limitations.
IoA introduces an agent integration protocol, an instant-messaging-like architecture design, and dynamic mechanisms for agent teaming and conversation flow control.

Building future wireless systems that support services like digital twins (DTs) is challenging to achieve through advances to conventional technologies like meta-surfaces.
While artificial intelligence (AI)-native networks promise to overcome some limitations of wireless technologies, developments still rely on AI tools like neural networks.
This paper revisits the concept of AI-native wireless systems, equipping them with the common sense necessary to transform them into artificial general intelligence (AGI)-native systems.

Agreement Technologies refer to a novel paradigm for the construction of distributed intelligent systems, where autonomous software agents negotiate to reach agreements on behalf of their human users.
This paper focuses on a novel method for managing elements of smart road infrastructures of the future, namely the case of auction-based road intersections.
We show that, even though the key technological elements for such methods are already available, there are multiple non-technical issues that need to be tackled before they can be applied in practice.

Collaboration in large robot swarms to achieve a common global objective is a challenging problem in large environments.
The robots must execute a Perception-Action-Communication loop -- they perceive their local environment, communicate with other robots, and take actions in real time.
Recently, this has been addressed using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) for applications such as flocking and coverage control.
This paper proposes a framework for asynchronous PAC in robot swarms, where decentralized GNNs are used to compute navigation actions and generate messages for communication.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are moving from customized deployments in specific domains towards generic solutions horizontally permeating vertical domains and industries.
While various commercial solutions offer user friendly and easy to use AI as a Service (AI), functionality-wise enabling the democratization of such ecosystems are lagging behind.
In this chapter, we discuss AI functionality and corresponding technology stack and analyze possible realizations using open source user friendly technologies.
