Title: The Agentic Automation Canvas: a structured framework for agentic AI project design
Authors: Sebastian Lobentanzer,
Abstract summary: We present the Agentic Automation Canvas (AAC), a structured framework for the prospective design of agentic systems.<n> AAC captures six dimensions of an automation project: definition and scope; user expectations with quantified benefit metrics; developer feasibility assessments; governance staging.<n>It is made accessible through a client-side web application with real-time validation.

Abstract: Agentic AI prototypes are being deployed across domains with increasing speed, yet no methodology for their structured design, governance, and prospective evaluation has been established. Existing AI documentation practices and guidelines - Model Cards, Datasheets, or NIST AI RMF - are either retrospective or lack machine-readability and interoperability. We present the Agentic Automation Canvas (AAC), a structured framework for the prospective design of agentic systems and a tool to facilitate communication between their users and developers. The AAC captures six dimensions of an automation project: definition and scope; user expectations with quantified benefit metrics; developer feasibility assessments; governance staging; data access and sensitivity; and outcomes. The framework is implemented as a semantic web-compatible metadata schema with controlled vocabulary and mappings to established ontologies such as Schema.org and W3C DCAT. It is made accessible through a privacy-preserving, fully client-side web application with real-time validation. Completed canvases export as FAIR-compliant RO-Crates, yielding versioned, shareable, and machine-interoperable project contracts between users and developers. We describe the schema design, benefit quantification model, and prospective application to diverse use cases from research, clinical, and institutional settings. The AAC and its web application are available as open-source code and interactive web form at https://aac.slolab.ai

Quantitative Assurance and Synthesis of Controllers from Activity Diagrams [4.419843514606336]
Probabilistic model checking is a widely used formal verification technique to automatically verify qualitative and quantitative properties. This makes it not accessible for researchers and engineers who may not have the required knowledge. We propose a comprehensive verification framework for ADs, including a new profile for probability time, quality annotations, a semantics interpretation of ADs in three Markov models, and a set of transformation rules from activity diagrams to the PRISM language. Most importantly, we developed algorithms for transformation and implemented them in a tool, called QASCAD, using model-based techniques, for fully automated verification.
